I know what you are getting at. I mean, that failing at clone jutsu is kinda cliche but you also gotta take into consideration that if they made Udon's story different than the usual then they would have likely had to expand on it further more but since they wanted to wrap everything up in one episode they just had to show what was the most common and easiest way to gain sympathy and show Udon's overall background at the academy.
