not really useless, just that some dont know how to maximize them since most illussions are based on you avatar stats. For example Kirito, he has beastly/godly stats as a spriggan, when he used his illusion magic instead of transforming into the usual illusion monster (which was just maybe any other normal monster or whatever), he was transformed into a big demon like monster. im gonna quote on the translation from the light novels.

"The spell Kirito is casting is an illusion magic that makes a player look like a monster. But the magic is not useful in actual combat. Because the shape depends randomly on the player's combat skills, usually the result is some weak monster, with no change in stats, since most people are aware of this it won't frighten them."
