Not only is it fast enough to beat almost every OOS option when grab is gone, but versus CC you almost certainly will have enough time to CC yourself.
A couple days ago I got blindsided in bracket by a Snake player who I hadn't fought in many months but has clearly gotten a lot better in the intervening time. One of several reasons I lost was that I didn't know how to handle crouch. Turns out Pit can crossup nair snake, hold down, tank his CC dtilt with your own CC (true CC on it lasts from 0-76 on the front hit and 0-84 on the back hit), and then do your own dtilt, which--if what I'm seeing here is correct--will give you the meteor hitbox, which will give you enough frame advantage to grab (just barely) at low percents, will force a tech at mid percents, and of course combos very well at higher percents (it looks like it may combo into upB at kill percents vs. a Snake who is still holding down when he gets hit by the dtilt, still working that out). It probably can do similar things in other matchups.
I used to think 3.6 nair was pretty bad in neutral (blame CPUs for SDI'ing it up a billion times) but it helps plug the CC/shield-shaped hole in Pit's offensive game, which is super good.
