Rarity was inspired by aspects of Canterlot, which is where Celestia and Luna are, and the stained glass window of Twilight. Cadance rules over the Crystal Empire, and Rarity was making dresses to mirror aspects of Canterlot, so she wasn’t included.

…but being a Mary Sue isn’t based on perfection. Being a “Mary Sue” is based on more devotion to the character at the expense of the conflict and the other characters. Considering what you said about her lack of development, that seems to imply the opposite: that the writers need to put more thought into her character and give her more of a personality than just “perfect pony princess”.
 
Also, characters can exist as ideals. Heroes like Superman and Davey Crockett are ideals, and yet they don’t get slagged on because of a lack of flaws. Celestia could also count as an in-universe ideal character: there are plenty of ponies who hold her in high reverence, seeing her as “perfect”, yet we know already she isn’t.

True. Cadence has virtually no flaws and is loved by everybody.
 
However, you’re missing the one bit that makes Mary Sues what they are: Plot involvement. A Mary Sue will have the entire plot gravitate towards her. Every relationship, plot point, and nook and cranny in the story will be about her, she’ll always elicit strong reactions within all characters and characters will not be allowed any action that doesn’t directly link back to her.
 
Cadence is not that. She doesn’t overtake any episodes that she’s a part of. In fact, she hasn’t done much in most of them, and in every episode that she appeared in, the focus was still largely placed on another character.
 
Bottom line: She’s not a Mary Sue. She’s boring as fuck, sure, but not a Mary Sue.
