Apart from the RoF part (only Ethiopian archers have better RoF), I agree. They have better range and accuracy, but it's due to damage output, nice HP and speed, that I think they are good against them.

They are merely 10 wood more expensive than CA, and combined with the Burmese wood gathering this is not much of a problem (gold cost however limits their cost efficiency). They can use their speed to approach said archers to improve their accuracy and waste them quickly (keep in mind that if the dart strikes another target, it still causes half damage, necessitating Scatter formation). I think they are good against many archer units, but not Gens/Skirms. Chu Ko Nus surprisingly also seem to be one of the best counter units, thanks to their insane damage output.

IMO, (non-unique) archers should be added as a unit that is countered, while the Skirms, Gens, Genoese Crossbowmen and Camel Archers remain counterunits.
