My mimic tear experience (post-nerf) has been positive It definitely feels like an easy-mode for a lot bosses. I'm a str-int build and if I have time, I usually summon the mimic tear in with the royal greatsword and then switch to the fallingstar beast jaw myself.
I do find it's pretty OP in most places, even when under-equipped. I was playing "fashion souls" and dressed it in cloth armor with a cross naginata+ stormcaller - and it made very good use of that setup. It was here that I realized that the mimic tear can be a decent "trainer". If you want to see how to use a weapon/ash optimally, equip a mimic with it and keep an eye on them. It's AI, and it's not perfect, but you can still learn a thing or two by watching it.
RE: Malenia - using your mimic is a double-edged blade for this fight. I had the Royal Greatsword equipped and maybe got lucky. When I spammed the weapon art, my mimic followed suit and Malenia had no response. However - if your mimic tear isn't aggressive enough, it will just be a source of healing for Malenia, so keep that in mind.
