He'd be good, but I really don't think he'd be better than Jones.

IMO Jones isnt all that creepy, and id want Braniac creepy and alien and almost spiderlike, which Ward is simply much better at.

That is down to Del Torro and the makeup/costume team. Any good creature actor would be creepy in that. Jones is a very good creature actor, so he sold it well.
Ward is a cryptid pretending to be a human actor. In the same role he would have been blood curdling.
The only one I can think of is Alan Moore’s “Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?” when Brainiac merges with Luthor in an attempt to kill Superman.
IIRC Lana Lang (who’s gained superpowers to protect Clark) kills Luthor before the LSV kill her too. What’s left of Brainiac detaches itself from Luthor’s skull in a final attempt to kill Superman but fails.

Up, up, and away.
Maybe you can stop speculating.
