the issue with taking her spell cards as flavor is that a lot of her opponents don't have it as flavor. that's what they can seriously do and actually do it.

Which ones? Cause off the top of my head, like...something like Hell's Tokamak isn't emitting literal full power radiation or Marisa would get instantly torched, for example.

Well, we say that, but we never experience a Touhou fight that avoids spellcard rules (aside from that weird Lunarian invasion thing that was super hard to follow.)

It's super obvious that she's no Reimu or Yukari, but there is little indication that spellcard rules are what let her play at most other Touhou levels -- for all we know, they could be nerfing her as well.

No, but we have tons of lore about how the Spellcard system was drafted because fights ended up destroying everything otherwise. That's exactly why it's in place. It's pretty much a binding set of rules everyone plays by that nerfs them all to be (mostly) equal so that disputes can be settled more peacefully.
