It isn't better. It makes absolutely no sense that he can clone himself a million times for no reason. The Infinite Zamasu in the anime was a function of his immortality; his physical body may have been destroyed but he was still alive because he's immortal. It actually used the concept of being immortal rather than in the manga it was random nonsense as per usual
They both make sense.
Anime Infinite Zamasu is a direct result of the immortality of Fused Zamasu's soul. All living creatures need a body. It's only natural. So when Fused Zamasu's body was destroyed, his immortal soul endured, and merely latched onto the closest host: The fabric of the cosmos itself. Sure, perhaps the "Zamasu wallpaper" on the sky was far-fetched, but it was meant to indicate the immortal will of Zamasu taking over the cosmos, and becoming his own twisted idea of justice and order made manifest, at long last. And when Infinite Zamasu opened a path to the Present timeline, he merely used the same distortion in time and space that Trunks himself had used to return to the past in the first place. An ability that was foreshadowed by Goku Black, who was able to tear a rift into the very fabric of reality, opening a portal to what might have been the distant past, or the future, or another dimension altogether, or perhaps the very embodiment of his inner hatred and divine rage. He was a God, after all, so his fury was the mightiest, pure and above everyone else's.
As for manga Infinite Zamasu, I strongly believe that Toyotaro did a good job explaining that. You have to remember that Fused Zamasu is actually just Zamasu^2, it's a fusion of the same individual. So the two Zamases from different timelines merged at a cellular level, and this didn't merely allow them to remain fused even after the time limit was over, but also to expand their power altogether, gaining the ability to clone themselves. It was an evolution, made possible by the astonishing achievement that Zamasu had reached.
Ultimately, It's just down to what you prefer. Do you find the idea of Zamasu taking over the multiverse cool? Or do you think that a legion of endless Fused Zamases retaining the unbelievable power of the original is more entertaining?
