Also Rad storms basicly ruin Ranchers... So RAD Storm > Cloning.
Sorry, but you should probably play more rancher then. If a radstorm ruins your rancher round, you seriously did something wrong.

Despite being "OP", there are a lot of "OP" ways of dealing with it or killing someone.
Blowing up Cloning is the most common approach.
And if we go with OP stuff.. RAD storms are OP like hell. Even roaches who used to be immune to it aren't anymore (just ultra resistant and can walk around freely for a lil while)
For some time...only maintance is available to walk in "unless" you got a perfect rad suit, or rad immunity from genetics.
So no one can do anything. The game has essentially STOPPED to just maintance shafts and the brig. It's very easy for antags to blow up a maintance shaft and screw over dozens of people... And on the right timing you might even get some corpses to decompose.
So what if cloning goes slow and a rad storm hits medbay? Welp whoever is in there is dead already... - 1 crewmember.. and now maintance is full of easy pick offs.. so one well timed bomb that's a cloning line of 10 to be cloned..
Cloning cannot be considered overpowered in comparison to stuff that does entirely different functions. So "cloning > Radstorms" is an quite empty argument. It can be only compared to stuff that fullfills the same function.
So to make it more obvious, cloning is overpowered in comparison to any other treatment that is more severe than application of sulfazide/charcoal/styptic. It requires a neglectable amount of recources (mostly provided by the dead person's corpse) and is avaible without any work right from the start with extremly minor repercussion except when spammed. And that will maybe change once 1 time cloning guarantees major cloning defects or the process requiring far more biomatter than a single corpse to function.
