Note how it is also stated that it is not recommended for soloists because it is too random/unpredictable.
What does its randomness matter, if all of the effects are rather severe?

Add the Saving Throws issue, and it simply not viable enough for high-level play.
That's not true. I know this because I've used the spell effectively throughout Shadows of Amn, and the Throne of Bhaal expansion. It remains effective until the end of the game. I've killed Cowled Wizards, demons, invisible critters, and liches with this spell.

I think that most people tend to forget that 'Prismatic Spray' isn't a single target spell. It's an area of effect spell. Aiming Prismatic Spray at a group of individuals guarantees at least one death.
