I've been testing it in New Haven. Half a dozen battles so far, the ninja hasn't died yet, and it has survived two direct hits from enemy artillery units - the high Defense/Dodge paid off. The damage output from the two R1 katana attacks is impressive, but the 2-turn prep time is really annoying. Flash Strike can reliably one-shot Silver Wolf infantry units, but the most important targets are usually dead before the prep time runs out. Electric Strike usually does 50-75% of a Recycled Truck's total health+armor in damage with a nice long stun thrown in.

So far, it's nice, but not a must-have unit. That could easily change once it's ranked up, though - I would have said the same thing about the Boom Bus before I unlocked Brown Noise.
