Well, to use your other example, you probably wouldn't want to park a PoD in a dominion-10 province for very long either, would you? At least the VQ's fodder can fly at the same speed as her. The PoD just leaves a bunch of leaderless skeletons in his wake.

A PoD consistently generates the skeletons every turn, however, as long as he's within dominion. The PoD is also more likely to sit still for a period of time, being that he's not quite as directly combat-oriented, and will likely spend more time casting rituals or just being a blessing pretender. The PoD's skeletons can form a sizeable pile of chaff useful for a death-magic nation in only a few turns. The VQ's vampires are closer to the GK's ghosts in general format. If anything, the VQ's vampires are a poor choice for accompanying in combat unless you've piled up a lot of them, because the vampires are very cowardly despite their immortality and flee quickly, routing off into neighboring provinces and becoming badly scattered again, especially when there are not many of them to stabilize the squad. All in all, the VQ's vampires are more flavor than they are a real consideration: Nobody takes a VQ just to get the little vampirelings!
