I don't like him tbh. No chases makes him a bit static teamwise. Clones are too easy to kill, someone like Kidomaru could mow through 'em with his mystery (or Zabuza with bloodthirsty). The mystery is overly expensive and not worth it without the clones.
If you have GNW Kankuro, he would be a decent replacement. Or Sage Naruto of course...
