I have, and it went great. But I was really lucky in that game.
Allfather's main flaw is that he doesnt cover Vanheim's main weaknesses (which is limited magic).
I would say thats *a* problem with it, but its main problem is its horribly overcosted, which makes it impossible to really benefit from any of its advantages.
Vanheim has cold scale, and can perfectly live with some sloth, so they have free points to buy Allfather. But they cant buy him enough extra magic paths to really diversify with him.
So yeah, you can say its his high cost that is a real problem.
Make him much cheaper, and he will be terribly overpowered though. With Awe, Allfather can solo indies on turn 3 (with an earthen kite shield). Having a stealthy, awake SC-God which also diversifies you into death and, I dont know, astral may be a bit too much.
