The first thing to point out is that Nightingale, unlike every other Berserker, is first and foremost a support servant, not a damage dealer. It's a bit contradictory, but she's not meant to actually do all that much damage, instead letting other servants do the damage for her. Honestly, she'll put in work for you once you get used to her (I actually rolled her myself on GSSR), namely figuring out how to keep a berserker alive for any stretch of time.
Her heal is strong on a reasonable cooldown, her second skills means she can have some damage against servants, but more importantly will give her defense against almost every servant and many generic mobs in the game. However, it's her third skill that you'll want to hear about.
Every servant you listed off has a buster Noble Phantasm, and having a 50% buster buff for three turns is a colossal boost in damage, and with a five turn cooldown, it's very nearly gamebreaking.
For Illya, she's great for another reason. In addition to buffing her Buster Noble Phantasm damage with Angel's Outcry, Nightingale's Noble Phantasm provides a party heal and removes debuffs. Illya's Noble Phantasm gives her two debuffs whenever you use it, so if you chained Illya's into Nightingale, Illya wouldn't have to worry about the attack and defense demerits on her NP.
Overall, Nightingale is alot harder to use then your standard 'Click-buster-and-win' Berserkers, but she's really strong at higher levels with the right team set up.
