Mew barely hits harder than Rhydon at +2, so while theoretically it could sweep I'm not really sure how valid a worry that is. I'm not sure SD Mew is any more threatening than Tobybro, who has the bonus of its boosting move also improving defense on the side and mono-attacks more effectively, leaving room for T-Wave (or Withdraw if you're so inclined).
Maybe still a better "sweeper" than Mewtwo, if by which you mean just boost and start killing shit, but I think of the latter as more super-Alakazam anyway because you're right, there's always something that can tank its attacks. Zam/Chansey can easily tank one shot of anything to inflict PAR and either begin Operation PP Stall or open up the slower, physical threats to take it down; depending on the moveset there are additional mons that can take hits too. But nothing actually beats Mewtwo 1v1 (IIRC not even Mew) and it's hardly worse than Tauros at tearing down a weakened team. I mean hell, +2 Mewtwo Psychic literally OHKOs said Tauros (~55% of the time), Rhydon, does like 80% to Snorlax... you really need Chansey or a Psychic to tank that shit, and every Psychic but Zam (or your own Mew/Mewtwo)(Hypno doesn't count) could get nailed by a coverage move. Mewtwo is super dangerous until you know its moveset, since you either have to play ultra-scared (hope both Chansey and Zam are on your team) or you risk running into an OHKO, which is otherwise unheard of in RBY.
