Sure, it was modern in the Sino-Japanese war, but by 1941, the Kate was nearly obsolete. The only reason it served out the rest of the war was because the B6N had develompent trouble. As far as I can find, it didn't have trim controls. You're right about the hydraulic landing gear. It also had hydraulic folding wings. However, both had severe problems leading to several modifications making both manually operated.
