Most lenses like this are better at the shorter end than longer end, but what are your alternatives for a sharper 210mm lens? An adapted A-mount or manual lens, and at what price? Or one of the 18-200 lenses, which are much pricier? I think the 55-210 is a fine option, and doesn't seem bad from all of the samples I've seen posted. I haven't noticed if there are any formal resolution tests.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the 55210 is terrible; as I stated it's a very capable lens.  It's like the 1855 kit lens -- not terribly great, but not terribly bad either.
You're also right in that as of this moment, there really isn't a better/cheaper (e-mount) alternative.  I mean, for the (discounted) price it's going for now, it's definitely good bang for the buck.
