I think You shouldn't be able to repair it or enchant it and here's why;

As you mentioned, the weapon is rare and we should keep it like that. If you allow people to repair it, it will lose a lot of it's value.

Seen that I've heard rumors that they're planning to remove/replace minecraft enchanting, it wouldn't make sense to buff this weapon even further (You can already enchant it). People tend to underestimate how much damage the weapons do on unechanted armour.

Regarding the "It's unfair to good-aligned players" argument, good aligned-players wouldn't use a balrog whip to begin with (neither would evil ones). It's just a rare trophy weapon from when you slay a Balrog and it should stay that way.
