It's more comparable to the AMG 9 speed which replaces the torque converter with a clutch instead. The setup isn't the problem here - it's the tuning - as this works just fine for Mercedes and most torque converters lock up at pretty low speeds anyways.
This was a packaging decision - the clutch is skinnier than the torque convertor AND with a mild hybrid system you should be able to get initial drive with the electric motor so you don't get low speed clunkiness with the clutch.
