As a Yi main to some degree, I have already lost count how many times I died during the Alpha Strike animation.

According to LoL wiki:

Alpha Strike can be used to dodge and avoid skillshots and area of effect abilities. Some dodgeable spells involve the damage instance of Time Bomb, Absolute Zero and Requiem.

I don't know really, sometimes it works like a charm, sometimes it will straight up fail and I would die as a result.

You are definitely 100% untargetable while the animation is happening.

However:

Like all(?) abilities, it has a very short cast time. If something hits you in that window of time you'll be CCed.
Due to network latency it's possible that the CC actually hit you before the server registered the ability going off. When it's really close, either the server arbitrates what ability wins out, or sometimes they both take affect (in which case you'd alpha strike but then be CCed afterwards).
