Is reasonable.

1st level Cleric gets some decent utility that can last the entire game, like Guidance (Especially if you've sneaked off somewhere far from your party), Bless, Sanctuary, Healing Word (If only to pick up downed party members with a bonus action and from a distance) and Command (If you bother getting some DC for it)

War Cleric also offers full martial proficiencies. So you can use the magical Longbows as well as weapons like Phalar Aluve and Adamantine Scimitar. Not to mention Medium and Heavy armour.

With Rogue 11 being solid. You don't even feel the lack of the level 12 feat because Rogue gets a bonus one at level 10.

For further clarification on this.
Do Rogues still get an extra skill only if Rogue is taken at the beginning (1st character level)? So maybe Rogue 1 -> War Cleric 1 -> Rogue 10...? I know it's only 1 skill but, if there's no real downsides...
