I have been attempting the ACE on my LADX v1.0 cart as well with no success. I really don't understand why ACE would exclusively work on emulators, especially when ACE works perfectly fine for LA running on console. I also noticed there're are some small differences between the doghouse world in emulators and consoles with sprites, though I have no idea if this actually effects the ACE.

Regardless I agree ACE should be banned from Any%, atleast until there is proof that ACE can be preformed on console or a new console viable ACE technique is found. Fingers crossed :]
