The slot taken is the only knock on Stinger whatsoever, and if it comes down to it, you can just sell the thing. With a cost of 1090g and a sale price of 763g, you're renting it for 327g in this case. At endgame, the only time the slot even matters, this is basically nothing.

Stinger solves AD Ezreal's two biggest itemization problems: CDR and AS. You can't lose. It even has cheap components, you can sit on a Dagger or two while waiting to build. With CDR blues and the 4% Offensive mastery skill, adding Stinger puts Ezreal at 20% CDR, which is enough to allow you to ignore Lucidity in favor of Berserker's.

Try it some time! It was already good before, and now it's even better since they dropped the price by 50g last patch.
