I disagree, they are not useless.
They are *hard to use*, but that's not the same as useless.
Furthermore, they are, generally speaking, not as good as the mages you would otherwise recruit out of your national forts.
Personally, I think the game would benefit from parallel recruitment - you can recruit one mage out of your lab, one priest out of your temple, and one non-mage non-priest out of your fortress. That way, people would actually use their national commanders, assassins, spies, etc. because they wouldn't be instead-of a mage.

I would definitely quantify them as useless, or 98% of the time useless. You have to kite them out with some kind of gear, even if its minimal, and those gem resources end up being better spent on actual thugs and SCs, which have a greater impact on the game anyways.
Besides that, assassinating mages can be an exercise in getting owned, especially once the higher level spells are researched.
