Noun. Used other than with a figurative or idiomatic meaning: see one,‎ too,‎ many. (idiomatic) One or more servings too many of alcohol, leading to drunkenness. He's had one too many.

No, it's way too informal. 'Way' is one of the most common words in English and has more meanings and expressions than you can shake a stick at. Unless you use 'way' in its most basic and literal way ;-) it will be considered informal. I don't think it really has a 'formal' use.
