Sooner yes. But as far as we know, it's only for this subclass. All o5e barbarians and monks (iirc) had that recharge mechanism instead.It’s a question of scale. You get this at 15th level instead of 20, and you get 5-6 exertion as opposed to 4 ki.
so it’s sooner and stronger.
As for stronger: wrt o5e fighters almost certainly. Wrt other a5e classes, probably not, I guess there's an overall balance
