I'll give Babidi a weak yes. First and foremost, Babidi has no redeeming qualities. Second and most importantly, his resources are different from villains like Frieza, a PE villain, who commands an intergalactic empire and destroy many worlds on a whim. I think with Babidi's own resources, he used them as much as he could with the time he was in the story. His crimes, like mass murder and the like is pretty standard for the series but as stated in your proposal, he takes being a bad boss to a completely different level. Even more callous with his minions than Frieza. In addition, he is not born of evil, either. He's evil because he wants to be -- that's based upon his actions and his overall personality. Plus the outcome of his actions by reviving Buu eventually led to the destruction of the Earth, the main setting. While he did not directly cause the destruction himself, it was one of his goals and he was responsible for setting up the situation to allow something like that to occur.

Another thing, I would not compare Babidi's actions to Zamasu. Zamazu came after Babidi. Because of Zamasu's actions with destroying the multiverse, the heinous standards are so high now that it would be harder for the next villain to appear to qualify. Had Zamasu and the events of the Future Trunks Saga occurred before the Majin Buu Saga, then I would likely give Babidi a no. But since Zamasu appeared later after Babidi, then with the lower heinous standards in DBZ Babidi would only have to compete with Frieza, Cell, and Super Buu. And compared to them, Babidi stands out for being a non-action villain who manipulated many people and used enough of his resources. Overall, with his limited resources and the scope of his actions, I'll give him a weak yes.
