Thing is, if you're accepting ahead of time that the Joker is unpredictable and uncontrollable, before even beginning to recruit him, then you can plan around that. Since it was just a decoy team, Joker's uncontrollable nature only worked in the Light's favor, since they could just unleash him and let the League worry about stopping him while they were busy elsewhere.
And ultimately, that's what the Joker is good for: his unpredictable nature. You can't recruit the Joker and expect him to just follow orders and do what you want. It's not what he does. What he does, is be the Wild Card. He does what nobody expects. And if YOU don't know what he's going to do next, that just means the Justice League won't see it coming either.
Worst case scenario, you end up having to kill the Joker yourself.
