I disagree with your analysis. I haven't yet played with it, but I've gotten the chance to play against it, and while I won't swear on the card it certainly fits in the Stax gameplan - which, I'll remind everyone, is "make it impossibly expensive for your opponent to deal damage to you".

What she is, essentially, is a 2WW Maze of Ith / Kor Haven, with a few other minor abilities (supporting Smokie, lowering your clock [with either ability], plus the ultimate). For the same reasons that Maze of Ith effects fit in Stax, so does Elspeth. "Fits" isn't "belongs", but it's a precondition for it.
