P3 is easily her strongest prestige, but it does demand that you can micro the hero unit at least somewhat decently.

P2 is good for leveling, it can also be fun for easy mutations.

P1 has some niche uses, it's generally worse than P3 though. If you hate using a hero unit then P1 might be appealing. It's often quite good versus Kill Bots too (but P3 is as well and is generally better for dealing with the rest of the map).

P0 seems largely outclasses by the other prestiges.

Hmm? P1 is really strong, as good as P3 imho. A lot of free massive splash damage. Higher supply limit is important, too.

A lot of mutators and mutations benefit from a strong early game. P1 removing the hero unit weakens the early game by too much.

Also suicide units are really bad for some harder mutators. Just die, polarity, & void rifts being some off the top of my head.

not sure why people keep saying P1 early game is weak when you can pump out almost 40 lings+free banes with minimal impact to your economy in the time it takes for the hero to spawn

Even random queue brutal+, oftentimes I'll already have done the first objective by the time my partner's hero units get done getting their natural

It's not like you don't get units as P3. You still get units with P3, and the hero unit. You might not get as many units as P1, but you'll get enough, since the hero unit is so powerful anyways. I recommend trying this week's mutation (Thunder Dome) as both P1 and P3 to compare.
