I think Servantis' fears about Ben were justified on SOME level because he was right about some of things. While Ben's heart is in the right place and he has done a lot of good, he is still a kid and has made many mistakes. He's not always responsible, disregards the rules and regulations from time to time, and isn't as experienced as some other Plumbers. On top of that, there are evil incarnations of Ben out there and since the future isn't set in stone, for all Servantis knew the Ben of his universe could one day become like that. Ben has a lot of power for someone who on the surface seems like they're not a great candidate for wielding it properly.

With that said, Servantis' plan did seem kind of iffy. There were a number of other things he could have done, especially since the main issue was the Omnitrix. He could have spoken to Azmuth about his concerns and tried to convince him to remove it from Ben; spoken to Ben directly and tried to garner his trust or brain wash him without his knowing if he had to; after the Omnitrix was removed when Ben was a kid he could have gone and tried to retrieve it, maybe even tell Ben he was holding it for safe keeping if Servantis could get Ben to trust him; etc.

Servantis' plan to make children soldiers to fight a kid who he knew had ten times the power they did was kind of strange. Regardless, there probably were better ways to approach the situation than to automatically go on the defensive. If he legitimately sees Ben as a threat though, I guess it can be chalked up to fear or something.
