It was still too dangerous to use.
The True Power is Shai'tan's essence, granted at his whim only, that destroys the Pattern through it's sheer existence. It is a tool only in that it is a tool for Shai'tan's purpose. I don't mean that in that it is a tool that Shai'tan happens to be using for his own purposes, I mean that it is a tool for Shai'tan's purpose. Using it serves Shai'tan's purpose by definition.

The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.

Using the True Power to win Tarmon Gai'don goes against every moral in the series.
