Remember that they still have the super-cheap Champions, so going toe-to-toe against Goths in that setting isn't going to be great. Samurai pestering you? Champions instead of 'Skarls. Jaguars a bit too close for liking? Equal resources worth of Champions. Cataphracts running over your melee infantry? Cheaper, insta-spawn Halberdiers.

Yes, head-to-head, TKs are a problem, but they can still be destroyed by the Goths' better archer line, and Teutons' cavalry isn't stellar either. They also take a century to arrive to their destination, which is more than an adequate warning.
