No, because the scientists have system administrator privileges. At a push a button they can do whatever the hell they want. She has no chance against them. No player stands a chance against them. This isn't like Kirito fighting in-game monsters and other players in PvP. Those have to obey the in-game rules. Administrators can do whatever they want.
(Think like Yui's transformation in her SAO arc where she banished the top-level monster like it was nothing. That's what Admin powers can do.)

But we're supposed to accept that Sugou allowed his company to spend time and money developing these tentacle monster avatars just to satisfy the fetishes of his employees?

They could just have taken the appearance of an existing in-game monster for whatever reason. (One of the other posts suggests the reason why -- their own experiment.)

Like I said, all the power in the world does you no good when you're fighting against people with Admin access. They're not "just scientists".
Edit: If Asuna had gotten out of the world tree area completely and into the area where normal players play, there'd be no reason she couldn't be over-powered just like Kirito when fighting in-game monsters or PvP. But fighting against those doesn't really solve her problem anyway.
