Granted your points are valid and I've considered them as well. However the early research loss is compensated by the benefits the bless gives (until you catch up of course). It also frees you to take sloth 3 and reduces your attrition rate to 0.
Those are 500G but only half upkeept and you don't need many of them early on. Teams of one Dai Oni and two generals will wipe most indie armies with that bless, even on strength 9.

I'm not at all arguing its a better strat - rather trying to analyze it as an alternative way to go with Yomi.
