Sharing this reddit post of mine at the start, because it'll give context for some of the things I'm about to say.
So I love Homura Akemi a lot, but I don't think Akuma Homura should be classified as 2-A or even multiversal until we see further proof of it through her abilties. Homura Akemi has obtained her new Akuma Homura form by stealing the Law of Cycles, and using it to boost her own powers. That the Law of Cycles is in Homura Akemi's possession is shown by the Rebellion Guidebook, where it shows that Homura has sealed the Law of Cycles within her ear cuff.
At the end of Rebellion, Homura's Soul Gem is tainted with the color of curses, and then also with color of something else, that the fans often refer to as "Ai Yo". After Homura captures Madoka, and then splits Madoka from the Law of Cycles, her Soul Gem cracks open, letting all the curses and "Ai Yo" free to consume the universe they are within. However, it doesn't reach beyond that, it only encapsulates the universe they are within.
That leads me to believe that Akuma Homura is at best a universal force, at least for now. Her barrier only encompasses the universe they are within, and within that universe, she is free to manipulate it as she wishes. Warping space, altering others' perception, or even erasing their memories. All quite impressive feats, but they seem to be limited to this universe alone.
While Homura may have the Law of Cycles trapped in her Ear Cuff, she doesn't seem to use it with the proficiency that Madoka does. This makes sense, since it wasn't originally her power.
To arguments that she overpowered Ultimate Madoka, and thus must be Multiversal. I'd like to point out that her attack was a magical one, so it's likely ignoring durability, but even if we assume it doesn't, it takes much less energy to split a planet in half than it does to obliterate that same planet, and since Homura only splits Madoka in half, this is likely following that same logic.
Sayaka also asks if she might destroy this world, to which Homura replies she might after the wraiths are defeated. But that again only suggests universal levels of power, as this new world she created only encompasses a single universe.
I'm open to responses if I got any of this information wrong, or missed a key detail. But I hope this explains why I think Akuma Homura is only a universal force at best.
tl;dr Homura shouldn't be listed as multiversal, as she only seems to be using the Law of Cycles to give an immense boost to her abilities, but isn't able to use it properly to be a multiversal level force. She is not Madoka's equal.
