The Prisoner is fine, but he’s just that (nowadays, with the inevitable power creep in games like this). There are a lot of new ways to reliably get PD on enemies, which is kind of his whole shtick.
I don’t agree that his max awakened form is worse than his original form (how could it be?). However, awakening him seems a hassle for what you get. I wouldn’t stress about adding him soon unless it’s his aesthetic you like.
