The problem I see here is that you are putting him too much into the Supporter role. He wants to become stronger himself too.

Now to the reasons why I think that Osamu shouldn't use Viper. As we saw did Rabbits not even care to dodge Osamus Asteroid, because they weren't strong enough to do any damage. Probably couldn't even destroy their core. Yet did we see from Arashiyama Squad, that Asteroid can pierce Rabbits, you would just need a higher trion lvl. Since Asteroid is the one with the most piercing power and Osamus being already not "that" strong, should we ask ourselves how strong his Viper would be. It would be weak as fuck and  I wonder if it even could destroy a (normal trion bodies) core. The trion leakage would be low too, which would mean  minimal lose of trion and Osamu actually losing probably more than the opponent did use.

Let's come to the Viper users. The best Viper usage we saw was from Nasu, who has it as focus of her fighting style. She had difficulties to hit Kuruma and Osamu and was using actually a lot of trion too. That's something Osamu can't afford and she was already predicting a lot and using feints. What I could currently see is Osamu baiting people with Hound and then finishing them with Asteroid or Raygust/Thruster off... Similar to Ninomiya, just on a way smaller scale
