So what's the exact advantage of a cluster munition in this circumstance?

one launch, wider area, more damage, more dead orcs

It's also more expensive (which I guess is our problem, not the Ukrainian's) and if covering area is the goal normal high explosive shells work pretty well.

I'm pretty sure there's more to say than that. Bigger isn't necessarily better.
