The shadow clone technique started with this idea of it being a banned jutsu, and was pretty much only ever used by OG characters like Naruto, Hiruzen, Minato, Tobirama. It's banned because of the risks it poses on the user, not because it's difficult in itself. Naruto, a notoriously bad learner and horrible at the basic clone jutsu, learned Shadowclone in an afternoon. It's not in ANY way a difficult jutsu.
