Out of curiosity, what utility do you see the cavern wight having? With his low scores in attack and defense, as you pointed out, he doesn't seem like he's much better than most national units and 3 death gems a pop seems a bit much if you're only getting one at a time. I guess his hps make him a nice buffer between your mages and attackers, but is there some use beyond that for him that I'm missing?

First there is a niche use:
He is amphibian and poison resistent, so for conquering the seas if you find no ichtyids he might be rather useful.

Then at level 8 there is the spell hall of dead. There for 30 death gems you get 20 such cavern wights. But if you can cast that spell conjuration 9 is not far, and then the old wights from dom2 are there. There you get 20 wights for 30 gems too. And those have bane blades.
Hm maybe they get a cost decrease in a patch .

As they are they are okay but not outstanding and there are better alternatives with the classical death summons for them. If they would cost 2 gems and 15 gems for the mass summon spell, they would be useful though i think.

Now they already have that amphibian niche, so they have their uses, but only 1 out of 20 games or so.
And their mr is rather good, so they don't get banished easily.
