I'm guessing it would be difficult to chuck it far enough to get the shooter out of the blast radius

It was lighter and more portable than the Leach Trench Catapult, but less powerful. It weighed 24 kg (53 lb) and could throw an F1 grenade or Mills bomb 110–140 m (120–150 yd).

Sounds like a perfectly viable choice in trench warfare.
