Would he work better as a Wonder Woman villain, instead of simply

No, because he's not a real god.

His whole shtick is that he's a very insane man who just thinks he's Zeus.

She's punched the real Zeus. Why would a Gotham lunatic be a good match for her?

I recall there's a story where Maxie and Diana met.

Well, yeah, exactly. He's not supposed to be intimidating to her through a principle of power level (even though his lightning rod 'could' feasibly pose a serviceable threat, at least in the same sense Livewire can apparently harm Superman), he's just some delusional asshole with a god complex who treats Greek mythology like it's his own personal Wonderland, and would logically view Diana as an extension of his fantasies - or at the very least, evidence that it's all "real" which it is, obviously, just not in the way he imagines it.

And of course he'd be too ignorantly vain and pathetic for her to straight-up murder in their first encounter, since he really is a legitimately disturbed individual with a poor grasp of any truth grounded in a reality that contradicts his own mental narrative... I don't know. There's just something tragically pitiful about him that just seems to fit with some of Wondy's other semi-street level antagonists, like Dr. Psycho, or Priscilla Rich. If he was like, the leader of some Olympian themed cult or something, thoughtlessly inciting major problems that Wondy couldn't just punch away, maybe he could work at least as a one-shot guest villain.

There's already way too much Greek horseshit in Wonder Woman.
