It's a really good unit in my opinion. Like you already said they counter trash pretty effectively, and their attack bonus against buildings can be good to raze down enemy towns, even castles fall pretty quickly. So when you got enough of them you don't even need any siege. They're cheap too, so massing them up shouldn't be much of a problem.

Paired with knights they can be really deadly and hard to counter.
