I don't think she's quite a Mary Sue... when comparing her to Luke's youth, I'd say they replaced his naive, kind of whiny personality from Episode 4 (that's not a criticism, it was age appropriate) with an equally naive, extremely enthusiastic one akin to young Anakin. A Mary Sue is generally considered as someone beyond reproach or criticism though, and she has very clearly shown moments of selfishness and danced dangerously close to giving in to her darker thoughts.

Really, she's mostly just the kind of approachable, marketable hero that is generally male but in this case is female. If she was just a shining beacon of righteousness I might agree with the label, but she's a bit too self-serving and dangerous in my opinion, and is frequently in need of help or guidance from others.
