Look at it this way: ukaku is renowned for their speed and long-range attacks; koukaku is classified as slow and heavy. The sheer weight of the koukaku kagune would nullify the only advantage ukaku-ghouls would primarily need. Add on the fact that ukaku-ghoul run out of stamina faster than other kagune-types, as well as the ukaku's long-ranged attacks burning through the RC supply required for ghouls to fight at a constant level, and you would have a ghoul who can't even have a kagune out for longer than a minute at the most. Maybe a while longer by limiting himself/herself to one kagune type..

In other words, no matter how proficient a ghoul is with each kagune type, the combination of ukaku and koukaku would ultimately be more of a weakness than another method of attack.Koukaku combined with rinkaku and bikaku would work better than combining ukaku with rin/bikaku.

Strategically, having a close-range/defensive kagune with mid-range one is more useful than a long- + mid-range combo. better to have the enemy stay at a distance than having to create the distance yourself.
