The viewers came infer certain things about Allison’s character based on her position as the primary antagonist that her companions cannot, and it’s pretty important to identify and separate what those things are when gauging interactions.
Based on what we’ve seen and what white chain knows they have a legit beef. Allison has done several things that indicate that she is seeking power only for its own sake, and that’s dangerous.
She wants power, hates feeling weak, and hasn’t done much to convince anyone that she would wield that power responsibly if she had it.

You mean other than standing up for people against even Demiurges, even to the point of actively attacking one on her home ground?

White Chain isn't right and her getting a win here would suck.
my current prediction is either double KO or White Chain is going to win the fight, but either way in a way that proves Allison is right. I can definitely feel a reckoning for all of White Chain's personal baggage building up.

I mean allison still has to lose her eye at some point.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Allison absolutely sees a lot of badness in the world of Throne, and she's willingly taken on the mantle of a sovreign-in-the-making who is going to instigate a literal revolution in the existing order. I don't think this point can be argued, what with her whole "I choose king" bit followed by her demands upon the gang shortly after getting the ship. She's relaxed a bit from that moment of hard-assed-ness and gotten back to being a bit more buddy-buddy as she usually is, but she's in no way declined the path of developing and using her power to change the world for what she feels will be the better, and the whole gang has recognized that that is going to include deposing the existing Demiurges.
So no, I don't think saying that she's a Demiurge is wrong at all, because while what she wants for others is a lot more ethical, taking power from the Demiurges and concentrating that power in herself or maybe those of her choosing so that she can realize her vision of how things ought to be is quite Demiurge and (possibly more importantly) anti-order.
If White Chain is all about maintaining a particular order, and Allison is all about overturning some of the very aspects of the society White Chain is sworn to maintain... well, yeah.
I'm still trying to figure out what that old man's angle was. Either he knows Coal is an Einherjar and is trying to trigger some cataclismic response, or he's got some God on his side and it'll turn out he's not actually dead either.
