And except for the little toads, just about everything else Mictlan gets is worth summoning.

Monster Toads? Granted they aren't a garbage summon, but they ain't great. Mictlan does have some of the best national spells though and most of its summons being sacred when Mictlan itself is a bless nation is obviously a huge deal.

I would also defend the spectral infantry, as they were quite useful to me when playing as Lanka. You can send them out as a first wave, to exhaust the enemy heavy infantry or to hold the enemy in place while your archers do their work.

I think you mean Host of Ganas, and yes, they are another solid summon. Not that great, but they don't suck.

Spectral infantry are an Abysian summon also known as Smoulderghosts which suck in combat, have virtually no special role (ethereal with 0 prot, rarely actually do any damage), are overpriced and are impossible to cast with Abysia's national mages. They're like an even worse version of the truly awful basegame Summon Shades spell. Summon shades was dropped to one gem in CBM and still doesn't get cast much :]

There's no defending them. Oh, though thematically they are cool, so there's that.

They don't beat Ziz for worst summon in the game though. I don't think anything even comes close to that flying turkey.
