I call bull of most of what was just said.
There is plenty Harry can do. And Alfred is at Harry's disposal.
Everyone you just mentioned is instantly neutralized with a simple statement.
Alfred Demonreach.. if Mab pulls that trigger take her down below and keep her there.
Just substitute Mab's name for anybody elses. And no this is not a direct quote.

Storytelling 101. Harry has just as much power at any point as Butcher wants him to have. The longer the books go on the more ridiculous it starts to become.

Sounds like you don't like the series...

Think what you please, but I've paid for the privilege.

Exactly Harry isn’t a god, it would be boring if he was. As it stands Harry can win against lower and mid level opponents on Demonreach on his own with his existing powers and knowledge and the two extant additional powers already granted to him as Warden.
Alfred is a powerful ally, but limited but so is Odin, so is Mab. There is no drama in Harry going mob handed against his rogues gallery, it’s always Harry against the world and some last minute creative mayhem. The above scenarios are exactly in that theme. Adding Alfred makes it too easy. The whole tapping the ley line is for a heavy hitter in the future, probably a rematch with Shaggy, when Alfred is tied up on something or someone else or in circumstances where Harry can’t summon him.
Aside from the brute force approach I would seek to try the Sanctum invocation to block Harry from controlling Alfred, something which Cowl would likely try, putting Harry in a battle of wills at the same time he is taking on the heavy hitter.
After all the Black Council really want control of Demonreach
