Yes, it is still a great position.
You got some potentially fight ending throws available, you can strikem he can't. You have some standing submissions if the guy is untrained. If you can pin him into a wall you got even more control.
It does take practice to be able to hold though, without that guys will just turn into you as soon as you try and strike. But being behind someone in a fight is almost always to your advantage and leaves them very few viable options.
