I think this issue veers beyond weapon balance into the realm of faulty game design. Cleave weapons are always gonna be garbage compared to single target armor piercing because of the sprint button and the inherent buffer of toughness.
In vermintide you had to engage with the fact that you couldn't outrun the wave of rats and sometimes you needed it to get a secure amount of health back. In darktide anyone turning around to deal with the wave spawning behind them is basically griefing.
