Depends where you are at, most have no problem switching and killing him but down in the murky pits where I dwell, I think a stun immune node will cause heaps of problems for attackers.
NC lost his defensive credibility when iceman came into the contest. In tier 1 he is cake walk regardless of the node. We don’t even place him anymore.
Stun immune: Parry stun gives attackers a little relief from being on high alert for his evade, take that away and there is more chance of an error. Also more likely they will take a bit more block damage as they wait for their opportunities baiting heavies, specials and finding intercepts.
Bane: Although I find him less difficult to switch bane on NC than Mordo, he does have untimely evades for an attacker which means they could suffer precious seconds under bane, which with increased attack can cause a lot of damage. Secondly, when bane hits, attackers can panic in trying to switch bane across attacking too aggressively. Attacking too aggressively is a good way to get wrecked by NC.
Having said that, he's a little overused now, I can face 4 NCs on a path and come out with barely a scratch. I don't play to switch him, play patiently against him and he's fairly straight forward. His evade is less troublesome than any of the spidey's, even BW, because it takes him far away.
