Now, arguably mound kings or revenants are more cost efficient than carrion ladies, especially as they come from another pot of money, so to speak - death gems vice nature. However, the carrion lady can be used to round up 20-40 auto-spawned carrions, take them to a province, build a temple and then sit there reanimating while guarding the temple.

Sure, if you could afford it you'd want to build a fortress to protect your temples - but CW wants a lot of temples, generally a lot more temples than it can afford to build fortresses on top of.

Also - the carrion lady should survive a seeking arrow with close to a 90% chance of survival; with good carrion critters set as bodyguards, has a good chance of surviving most assassins, but is rather a bit vulnerable to fires from afar.

hm i myself do the following in midgame when i have huge enough hordes carrion beasts :
1 carrion lord in every major army for puppet mastery
in my main 1-2 armies i furthermore use 1-2 banelords . they have 125 undead leadership .

i build 3-5 driads in midgame for temple building . they just sneak with the attacking army and then can build a temple + castle when i have enough money .

because a carrion lady might get killed by a seeking arrow while a carrion lord doesn't .
and the bane lord doesn't get killed by seeking arrow too and is not hurt much by a chest wound .

so the bane lords can shuffle around .
if i equip some of them slightly as thugs mid-lategame doesn't hurt either .
