Not really, think of Salamanders as an indy leader with a fire brand and big heat aura, because that is almost exactly how they work. The gold cost for them starts to look very reasonable when you start thinking in those terms.
Note however, you need a demonbred to lead the mixed formation, which is not actually bad thing, since he can bring prison of fire to the party. These groups work fine against indies and other players early.
Of course you don't always need to include salamanders with your humanbred, just when the situation requires it.
