It seems to read that every round, every "Character" unit can summon in another unit for free? On average this is a unit value of 11, which is very strong. So if my death guard army has 4 character units, they can each add another unit while only risking a bit of damage? This seems ridiculously useful. What am I missing?

You're missing the fact that in matched play you need to set aside reinforcement points to summon stuff. In a 2k game, if you want to summon 200 points of Daemons, you need to keep 200 points in reserve, leaving you only 1800 left for the rest of your army.

In open and narrative play GW literally don't care about game balance so it's up to you to police that yourself.
