I agree. She isn't useless at all and I do often find myself defending her to others. Jiraiya referred to the 3 times he was mortally wounded and one of them was her. (can't remember exactly).
I would say that healing Naruto's clone(which I assume gave Naruto some power back?) & Gaara would take a remarkable amount of chakra. To still be able to fight an S-rank battle and keep up with the other Kage is a feat and not to be made fun of.
Also she survived the teleportation technique which should have ripped her apart. She also always wears that age-hiding technique which costs her chakra.
The fact that she managed to make Sakura anything more than a useless boot is something to be amazed with too
