I don't know if speed is terribly important here, but since my suggested
approach uses a loop instead of recursion, it ends up being faster for
nested headlines (more than 5 levels). This obviously could be fixed in
the initial approach too.

Since we know where point is, we could also use
(org-element-headline-parser nil t) instead of (org-element-at-point).
That's a tiny bit faster.

For those interested, here's timing info:
(progn
  (defun yf/org-babel-under-commented-heading-p ()
    "Return t if currently under a commented heading."
    (unless (org-before-first-heading-p)
      (save-excursion
        (org-back-to-heading t)
        (let ((elt (org-element-headline-parser nil t)))
          (while (and elt
                      (not
                       (org-element-property :commentedp elt)))
            (setq elt
                  (and (org-up-heading-safe)
                       (org-element-headline-parser nil t))))
          elt))))
  (elp-instrument-list
   '(org-babel-under-commented-heading-p
     yf/org-babel-under-commented-heading-p))
  (let ((org-element-use-cache t))
    (with-temp-buffer
      (insert "* foo bar
** bal
*** bal
**** bal
***** bal
****** bal
******* bal
******** bal
********* bal
********** bal
*********** bal
************ bal
************* bal
************** bal")
      (org-mode)
      (goto-char (point-min))
      (forward-line 4) ;; <- 0 for top level, etc.
      ;; (profiler-reset)
      (let ((n 100))
        (garbage-collect)
        (dotimes
            (_ n)
          (org-babel-under-commented-heading-p))
        (dotimes
            (_ n)
          (yf/org-babel-under-commented-heading-p))
        (elp-results)
        )
      ;; (profiler-report)
      )))

But as I said, I don't think speed matters much for this specific function.

I have absolutely no idea if this is important here.
