Death 13 kinda sucks since the user is unaware of the things that happen in the Dream World. Like he thought that Hierophant was part of the dream, which implies that he doesn't have complete control over what appears in the dream, and also it isn't able to tell the difference between what's real and what's part of the dream, which is pretty dumb. Plus the user can't defend himself with his stand outside the dream world, so in a normal fight Death 13 is pretty useless. And there's the whole thing where people can injure themself in the dream to leave messages, and the user won't be aware of it at all. If were being real, Man in the Mirror is a better version of Death 13, because it can get people away from their stands like Death 13, and control which parts of their body enter the mirror world.

Also wanted to mention that GER defends Giorno from attacks automatically, so he could prevent Giorno from being pulled into the dream in the first place.
