I've never broken a chain yet (breaker is in the mail), but judging from how hard it looks to use the slightly bigger ones with smaller handle, I could imagine the multi-tool breaker could be quite difficult. But it's an emergency measure isn't it, as long as it's still usable for that infrequent occasion...
The mountain bike kit has a chain tool. No, it doesn't have a spoke tool but I've never found the spoke tool on any multitool to be that useful. A separate spoke wrench is easier to work with. Also, I've converted all my bikes over to splined nipples so they need a separate spoke wrench anyway.
