It clearly isn't going to help you win the game - it's simply too ineffective.
In large MP games blood is much more economical and cost effective than gems in the late game - especially if Astral Corruption goes up (as it probably will if there is a blood nation still around). You are simply trading gold for blood slaves - a very good deal in the late game when gold is worth less and less.

In shorter games (80 turns or less) it probably isn't worth boot-strapping blood unless you find some good indy blood mages early.
