These things are useful even if you do not make heavy use of communions. They can give communion power to mages not normally able to commune, and they free up a order slot. (Getting your super spells cast at turn 1, and not turn 2 can be a big deal).
The crystal matrix is the most important one. Because you know the order mages are going to cast spells, you can just have the slaves cast comm slave and give the last mage a matrix to make him a master.
I think you only use communions in huge communions. But they can be great even in small numbers. (And having communable magepriests makes getting h3 easy).
