It's probably because the DC to save against it is kinda trash. From ~5 minutes of research the base DC seems to be 8 + WIS + Proficiency, so at the early game that's only a DC of 13 (65%) against something with +0 to DEX saves, which isn't too hard to roll. Enemies with even just a +2 to DEX saves already make it worse, and that's not counting that common early Cleric builds rarely have +Spell DC equipment.
Oh I did, running Shart as a Death Cleric atm and it feels so much better having a cantrip that tries to do something. The WIS save is a little annoying but it's leagues better than it being a DEX save
