What I find more interesting is that you put the counters on “a Jace Token”, not necessarily one created by another effect like this. There are two “actual” Jaces that can create token copies of themselves…and there are many ways to get token copies of the other Jaces. It doesn’t sound very competitive, but potentially fun.
Best I could come up with directly from the command zone was Sin, Spira’s Punishment. Then pump the deck full of self mill, all the Jaces and empower Jace cards. At that point it’s just a proliferate deck with extra steps though.
The initial idea of making use of the Jace token we get from empower Jace N not being legendary could be very silly with Brudiclad if we can get some Loyalty counters onto them ahead of time (but what token ISN’T silly with Brudiclad).

Could be interesting in a Verazol deck (context), but it wouldn’t be very good with this Jace since it’s pretty weak anyway.
Nonlegendary Jace token copies could maybe be a fun deck to try, but it wouldn’t be very competitive at all, yeah.
