The revival ritual was mentioned to be risky (I don't know whether Deaton or Peter said it), so I guess a safe way like losing your alpha-ness is the best choice. (I guess the risk of revival will probably bring out an undead/ call upon some random evil spirit who hijacks the person body)

As for the power ranking, i guess experience decides one strength. However, alpha ranking gives one a boost in power. Though True Alpha seems to actually severely handicap the person in question, since he can't kill which prevents absorption of power and prevents the person from permenently putting down a threat. I was at least hoping that True Alpha's physical strength would be overwhelming so that he could incapicitate enemies without killing them. But judging by what happened with Kincald, yeah True Alpha is basically just burden despite its pretty name
