In theory yes. But you can recruit the same kind of priests from independent provinces and recruit more useful leaders in your castles, so having Black Priests as a national unit isn't really helpful.

I seem to remember that the Black Acolyte is more than just a Holy 2 priest who costs 80% of corresponding independent priest. Doesn't he get some sort of preaching bonus as well, or does my memory fail me here.

[Not an argument for using them especially against Ermor, but I played a single game as Iron Faith some time ago, and I seem to remember that I found excellent work for the Black Acolytes. It may have helped that I went with a Wizard Tower to allow me to build a lot of fortresses for better national recruitment]
