Literally all it would take for the writers to make it useful is for someone to say "That technique? But it splits your strength!" and then for Tien to say "I've been practicing and improving the technique for a long time. I no longer have to worry about that."
It wouldn't at all be the first time that a technique with a horrific drawback got said drawback trained out of it. All it takes is for the author to want it to be that way; nothing else.

I have a message from another time...Lots of things can probably be overcome through training.
I mean, Goku supposedly took care of the energy drain in Super Saiyan, but it's apparently still an issue as Super Saiyan 3 and Blue.
Three makes sense (though I'm surprised he didn't train to overcome the stamina drain at least a little), but Blue surprises me.
I feel like which weaknesses can be overcome and which ones can't depend on who gains the most plot advantage from it. Goku lost his tail weakness even before he lost his tail permanently (as did Vegeta), and Piccolo can no longer be sealed by the Mafuuba.

Not if Vegeta's manga fight against Hit (where he'd have won if he hadn't gone Blue as a demonstration to Cabba) is anything to go on.

One Strip! One Strip!For anyone on the fence about Super based on its animation, I'd like to recommend a You Tube channel called Totally Not Mark. He's got lists of all the Top 10 best and worst animated moments from each individual arc, and from the way he gushes over individual animators and their cuts, you can tell that he knows his shit regarding the industry.

Well yeah. He's the perfect being after all. It was part of a string of attacks where Cell uses our heros's techniques better then the originals did. It establishes how much better he is than everyone else in ways besides "whoa! I've never felt a power like this before!".
