Ok, so duck zombies are pretty worthless against average adventurers, but they're pretty keen aginst other ducks, which is how I imagine them being deployed. Properly preserved they can swim, and can fit through tunnels and round obstacles that would foil a human sized undead. To be crass for a moment and turn to the rules, most ducks have a negative DM, which makes a duck zombie pretty hard, relatively speaking.
Your points are perfectly valid ones, but I don't think they make an unassailable case by any means. Zombie duck storm troops still deffinately have a place IMG.
