(why not say "it came in handy at Tear or Arad Domon"
Maybe because he still fears the angreal will be taken away from him if someone finds out, and he only used it at Maradon so far.
Of course it doesn't have to be the POV of a character we've seen at Maradon.
But I'd say Maradon would be more obvious than some of the other places he's been when he was far more likely to have had "alone time" to use the thing unnoticed
But not necessarily "useful", though. In Maradon he had to fight, and make gateways. It may be at Maradon, when the real fighting against the Shadow started, he decided to use his secret angreal even if somen other Asha'man might notice he has it.

We didn't actually see Naeff fight in Maradon, only later when he was part of the command staff at the manor. He may well have used the thing at in Tear fighting off 100k Trollocs, or while putting out the Domani Fire or if he was at the Seanchan front in Illian/Altara. Maradon just seems like a strange comment coming from Naeff who has been involved in so many other places in a more primary role.
Of course, the "nobody knew he had it" may be contextual too. If he's at the BT/about to try infiltrating it with a MOM, he may actually have everyone at the BT in mind when he reflects "nobody knew he had it".
that would be a pretty cool twist actually!
But it could also be the POV of a dreadlord who was at Maradon. And many other things. It could be another Asha'man altogether who's grabbed it. It just seems like everything revolves around Naeff nowadays! RJ would more likely have used Flinn or Narishma, but Brandon seems to involve Naeff in everything now. Naeff works with Bashere's soldiers, Naeff puts out the fire at the manor, Naeff goes to the Seancham, Naeff rides with Rand through Ebou Dar, Naeff goes see the Borderlanders, Naeff becomes Nynaeve's handy Asha'man, Naeff gets healed from the taint, Naeff goes to Maradon, Naeff gets sent to the BT. Rand's in love or something (might actually be Brandon who is...). Narishma must be murderously jealous - he used to be the Asha'man Rand trusted with that sort of things.
Indeed, Naeff is very high ranking it seems. But that probably has as much to do with Sanderson having an easier time writing him than he would have Narishma. Speaking of Narishma, we haven't seen much of him ... wasn't there a prophesy rolling around about him in the earlier books? Something to do with his getting Callandor from Tear ... "he who draws it out will follow after" or some such. Wonder if we'll get resolution on that.
I just really doubt it's a Rand POV somehow. Why would a medium angreal be so important to hide when he carries Callandor on his back?
Of course it may not refer to the little fat man either, though it seems likely somehow.

It could be Rand, but I'm not sure to what purpose ... as you say, he's got Callandor so another vast weaker angreal isn't going to do much for him.

Verin gave him the fat little man angreal (or at least it's location) I guess

I'm certain the process will be far more irritating.

They're probably just biding their time, letting you drop your defenses...like Demandred. *NM*

The first question becomes who is the most likely POV character here

Like I said, Naeff is certainly possible here
