Agreed, Wokou monks are very situational (but still requires the Atonement/Dance Hall H.C to be considered, thanks to the high pop. they use), since they can be very useful against Heavy Inft. units early in the game (thanks to them having a +0.75 dmg multiplier and 10%+ ranged dmg defense compared  to the regular crossbowman) and also have a nice dmg mult. against villagers, making them useful in some rush/raiding maneuver. The bigger problem is that they require a decent amount of coins, that you will probably would be better using aging up and upgrading, since coin is usually not that plentiful until the third or forth age. To me, I simply avoid using outlaw mercenaries since I don't use the Atonement/Dance Hall H.C on my deck, so it's also more of the way you play the game and how opportunities present themselves.
