I agree that the ludus benefits of Will of Anthony and Cleopatra's gift seem super important to them. So if you play a learning game, where you don't use the ludus benefits yet in order to start up slowly, I imagine that the Morituri suffer more than most.
Which also means that if you are playing a cohort of mixed ludi, without using a ludus benefits card, Morituri gladiators probably aren't your best choices...
For learning games it's not terrible as the demos I have run as full games have used the ludi. Those 5 min mechanics demos I don't use the ludi.
And that's a good point about including them elswhere, but I don't think they fully lose their usefulness.
