I disagree. First: Bakemono need a Bakemono general in order to utilize their Mountain Walk. Second: Sorcerers are very expensive. If a player has, say, three forts, it is very unlikely that they can recruit a Sorcerer at each of them all the time. In general, Shinuyama will have plenty of fort time to diversify their commanders.

Also, I was under the impression that "Attack Large Monster" meant, "Attack the largest unit on the field", not "Attack units >= size 4, else default to 'None'" Can anyone confirm one way or the other?

No.

Attack largest will only target size 5,6 units.
If there are no size 5,6 units, it will then drop down and target size 4.

Uba are much less expensive than bakemono sorcerors, and have their uses.

If neither Uba nor Bakemono Sorceror, you still have better choices than the general. Such as the Mujina which can be kitted to be an excellent assassin, or one of their stealthy leader options for leading hidden bakemono-sho archer divisions - which i'm pretty sure can also give you mountain survival.
