Snubs are at 30 sec as the normal cloak. When the bigger vessels can take a lot of damage or even be killed in 60 or 120 seconds the sunbs cannot be killed in that time.
One addtional bonus for the snub is its shield, if the player plays lousy and take some hits during the charging trying to keep his hull a bit damaged the attacker might not notice that the nomad snub is about to cloak. I am not sure if there is any animation for the cloak, may be one more visable one can as well solve the issue so the time could be rised to 45 sec only or so.
I managed to use the normal snub cloak many times without anymone noticing me charging, but there is only one shot that is extremely limited timewise so they are balanced.
I am not about to judge about any situations especially based bare on forum posts, there are screens and reports for that.
