Would you pick up those paths on your pretender to guarantee access if your nationals don't provide it?
LA Marignon and LA TC both have pikes and fear-spam. But as Kungfoo explained above, you use fear-spam because you want to use fear-spam (traditionally to rout a large army whose retreat path you were able to cut off magically), not because you have pikes. What's up for debate is really whether pikemen make good line-holders WHILE you are using fear-spam.

So definitely don't design your pretender around something everyone in this thread has affirmed as a niche use!
