It would be interesting to see how well Klay would do where he’s not with curry. He simply doesn’t need to be a playmaker
I think peak Reggie was a better overall shooter than Klay, yes. Especially when you consider he had to work harder for his shots (no Curry, less free flowing offensive sets). Relative to the league average (so adjusting for changes in rules and strategy), Miller was clearly better.
I’ll give you that Klay is a better defender, but meh on wing defenders not named Pippen, Jordan, Payton (and a handful of others). It’s not enough to move the needle.
Reggie was just way better off the ball and creating his own shot. He would wreak havoc if he ever got to play alongside a Jordan, LeBron, or Curry. Can you imagine having to guard LeBron and Reggie Miller on the court at the same time? Defenders would probably give up by halftime.
