Is it worth getting Commander Luke Skywalker?

CLS is still a great Legendary character to have.

And to get him requires very little gear. (Level 7-10 range for the group as a whole)

And given he's needed in the long term for JKL/JML he's well worth getting.

I wouldn't give a ton of gear to StormHan or Farmboy but ANY gear you give to Leia or Old Ben I think is fine since both have to be relic'd IIRC for the path to JML.

Yeah he's a beast when you get all the rest of the CLS meta in place (Chewie, 3p0, 3pac and RHan).

Can I stick him in elsewhere, while I farm the others? Like maybe to Jedi team instead of Erza?

Behind Ackbar, with CLS, Leia, ST Han, R2D2 until you get C3PO Chewbacca.

To answer your question no, you should not get CLS at your point in the game. Why is that though?
The main problem with CLS is, that he may be a top tier squad, but to get all the pieces needed for this squad, you need to put ressources into alot of outright bad or at best mediocre characters to unlock 2 of his teammates (Ewoks in particular).
So there is one reason, why CLS early doesnt make that much sense, now people might argue, you can use lower tier rebels with him, but then the team just isnt nearly as powerfull, as he can be, and he will get beaten up handily by most other teams, thus negating any advantage of getting a good team early.
Then get to the next BIG problem with CLS, he doesnt provide you with a fleet early, and the rebel fleet is a pain to get going early, and one of the most wastefull ways you can get a decent fleet, especially compared to early geonosians.

Sooo, this is alot of reasons, why you should stay well clear of anything CLS related early game. But what should you do instead?
The most efficient way, to get a top tier team, and a good foundation for your future fleets is going for the Geonosians, and transition that into a padme team (that is gonna be your top tier team). This will not only give you 2 very good teams, but if you also farm the geonosian ships, a very very strong fleet for the early and midgame, till you can transition it into either a negotiator (also aided by the fact, that 2 of thoose pilots are allready in the padme team), or into a malevolence fleet (where you use the geonosians and the vulture droid + hyena bomber pilotless ships).

I will say on my alt that my G8 CLS Han Chewie team (and Chewie at 6* / only zeta on Han) punches well above their weight.

Well, Ewoks are good Grand Arena defense though

Not rly. the only reason they get used there, is becouse they are slightly better than having a team of non synergy characters without gear/zetas there and you just have them from c3p0, and had to invest gear and zetas in there. But they dont hold and they dont steal banners even remotely reliable. you replace them, as soon as you can with something better. Dont mistake that with a good defensive team, like nightsisters, GG, Nute Seps etc.
In short, you are mistaking good with commonly used. Oh, and also ewoks dont do well in raids, they dont do well in TBs. all they do is unlock c3p0, and then be discarded. Same like Phoenix for EP and thrawn (except phoenix does do well for you early, with GW etc)and OR for Malak (yeah, sucks having to gear them, but the payoff is way better with malak, compared to c3p0)
