How useful is Spider-man 2099 outside high-tier AW?

I have pulled this guy as a 6* yesterday and after I tried him out and read his abilities, I am kinda torn. He is definitely a good champ with really high skill cap.
The thing is, that most of the YT videos, that showcase him as "god" are high tier AW. And since I play only solo, I wonder how useful he is in the rest of the game? Over the past months I have seen very mixed reactions. Some love him and some hate him, he is one of the most polarising champs in terms of community reception.
So please share your thoughts and experience. I am still looking for some decent R3 adept in the Science class (my best options now are S99, Spam or SGwen)

Keep him as an r2.
He is a power control God and counters nodes which punishes buffs.
I have a r3 Sig 200.
I'm not going to take him r4 as he stays banned in wars.
i don't understand why people say he's only good for AW. I use him almost everywhere.
he's amazing against alot of nodes in the game,and fights against the annoying mystics (mojo,dorm,etc...) feels like walk in the park with him.
he is great for act 7&8,and in my grandmaster's gauntlet run he was one of the MVPs.
SP2099, SS, SWigil, BW CV, IMIW, Blade, CMM, and BW DO - all were part of team(s) that helped me beat Act 4. I used mainly SP2099 and SS. SP2099 damage was more than good. Zero regrets ranking him up.
His kit is immensely useful for certain content. Wither is a very rare ability, so it is definitely is a nice thing to have when faced with all the power type nodes.
To me, as someone who is not going to invest time into increasing my skill at S2099, I view him entirely as a champion to rank up for niche content (R2 at most). That doesn't mean that he is bad, but rather that he is someone that doesn't do enough for me to replace my already ranked champions (R3s).
