While Impact doesn't have as many damage bonuses as Puncture & Slash, it does have great support and survival uses. It "stumbles" opponents around with high status affect and keeps enemies at bay. Enemies like Infested, who don't have any weakness or strength against impact, are the easiest to play against. There may not be a damage boost, but weapons like Boar Prime obliterate them without being suffocated into a corner. While slash & puncture have some advantgaes/disadvantages against Infested, Impact in my opinion is the better choice, especially when running an ODS and a squishy frame. It feels so much better pausing a row of ancients and runners with Seeking Force rather than just dealing straight damage. It's better to be safe than sorry sometimes.
