I don't know how the Walley got tied up in Sasha's edges but that jump when done correctly is not so easy. It is much moe difficult than a loop jump (which it kind of mimics).
The main reason for the difficulty is the back inside edge take off and rotating to land on a back outside edge on the same foot. Can you imagine doing a triple walley?
The toe wally and the toe loop are to me cop outs as far as difficulties are concerend but they look effective for footwork. just my opinion.
Regarding Sasha, I would say her edges are more than adequate. Not exactly Hammil's or Botianos but ok.
Let's look closely at Campbells - not for medals but for elements like edges and a sundry other parts of figue skating.
