Unless you're the Guild you can't win with 10 man doom stacks alone. You can make life hell for other players but to actually win you need to take three strongholds and you've only got 20 force tokens to play with. Troops committed to the planet can't easily be moved around the board unless you're fighting over Carthag or Arakeen, there's a huge opportunity cost to dropping on the Sietches. Playing with the advanced combat rules further weakens stacks by imposing an upkeep cost. A 10 force stack costs 10 spice to play at full strength, while leaders are free.
The first expansion introduces the Tleilaxu who are pure cancer if they ally with the Guild, since you can repeatedly slather the board with forces and trivially revive them. And you don't have to actually win, just delay until you get a Guild stallout victory. But that's a problem with the expansion rather than the underlying rules.
