At one time, I used an ultrasonic cleaner for all my blackpowder rifle brass. Many others still do. I did not find it very satisfactory and went back to stainless pins and wet tumbler. After many dozens of trips through the ultrasonic, there wasn't a single case that was worse for the wear. Just a little grungier than they needed to be.

As for wads, not all fiber wads are created equal, if you are considering them. Circle Fly cushion wads are pretty useless. The Precision Reloading cushion wads are a good bit better and give more uniform pressures and velocities. I do use CF nitro cards, lubed and unlubed, and they seem fine.
