No it doesn't. I've fought AC players before as a medic, basic soldier etc(I'm only Lieutenant) and they are not harder to kill or any of the other complaints. Only problem I have ever had with them is boosting to run away. But like I said, planting some C4 makes them really easy. The game is based on teamwork and not who has higher kills.
As for the mindless chaos comment, every game is like that. Should grenades be banned then as well? Grenade launchers? None of these things are that threatening. Never mind the fact that Assault spawns with only 3 rounds of ammo for the missile launcher.
I've played games when there was no assault class player and everyone was still getting naded like crazy. Even several pages back in this very thread people were talking about how some battles turn into people flinging grenades in one spot.
Assault is just as balanced as any other class.
Pro tip: when you use boost, you can run right over C4 and pass it before it explodes, it doesn't even hurt you.
In my games, I've banned Assault class, grenade launchers and rocket launchers and the ability to boost.
You'd be surprised how much this effects the gameplay.
Assault class DOES get more health, nearly double that of the other classes.
Try to defend the class all you want, but it IS over powered. And it is by far the easiest class to use.
