Yes. He's worthy enough. Yes. You can find better Identities.

For Hong Lu, either of those is better than Hook, and KK costs the same amount of shards.

hook is worth getting.
TT is not actually a bleed ID. he only inflicts a bit of potency on S1 and on U4 only benefits slightly if enemy is bleeding to all hell.
KK is outdated. can't clash, doesn't like bleed count. only usefull for cloudcutter.

Hook is fast, has evade, inflicts plenty of bleed and bleed count. S3 does very high damage

Think I made this joke before, actually.

Kurokumo Hong Lu is the opposite of all the other kurokumo IDs, he hates count. Which is funny since all the other KK id's apply high count, such as Ryoshu who is seen as the Debuffer for the KK team if your like me who brings teams who go with eachother. (I hate mix matching, if I bring KK I'm bringing a whole squad of KK whether they suck or not.) Remember the days in Season 1 and 2 where KK honglus spotlight was his S2 bread and butter, with a side of jam?

Hook is a pretty alright ID to put on the field, I relied on him a lot for my bleed team because he just consistently dishes out bleed potency and much needed bleed count, especially on his S2
One of his funnier gimmicks is his S3, dealing more damage against low HP targets, even on broken body parts, so you can get some high damage in really easily

If you get other bleed IDs for other sinners and end up benching Hook Lu, I'd recommend swapping him out for Kurokumo Hong Lu because an [On Kill] support passive for 1 Attack Power Up isn't that great, while extra bleed potency is usually better

tl;dr Hook Lu great on field, bad as support

[Ballistic Groove Gun]

I use Hook in my hard mirror bleed team, regularly places second in damage totals, pretty solid for a 00. Don't got the Rings though.

[SmallGespenst]

Hook Hong Lu is in a similar space to Lantern Don, being very valuable in a team comp, and just generally quite good due to being on the top end of two stars. He's not going to outclass most three stars, but he's absolutely worth having.

Depends how many boxes they give out during the quests and your weekly bonuses from MD, but I'm not sure if it'll be enough to shard more than one (as a F2P player)
If you have battlepass though, you probably could

They last for 2 weeks, with BP and if you do 1 MD per day/Daily mission, and MDH every week/weekly mission, you will get 297 boxes in 2 weeks.

Personally I do 3 Ritornello runs in the MD to use up all the weekly bonuses and squeeze out that extra BP, and then splurge the rest of my energy on Simulation runs because the BP gain is equivalent when there are no bonuses left
Can be exhausting, though, woes of a F2P player

Also If you can do MDH (with weekly bonuses), you can technically do 3 MDH within 2 weeks which will give additional 66 boxes, this is because there is a short time lag (a few hours) between the weekly reset and the maintenance reset.
