I wouldn't say they are useless, but they are certainly limited.
It's pretty fun to hew through hordes of voteless, and the stun lance is actually a very reliable last-ditch weapon. As long as you get in your first hit, it will protect you from overseers and berserkers alike.
I admit, you have to be on the ham side of gaming to use it. But that's what makes a helldiver a hell diver. Oh, and don't try to fight flesh mobs, might seem obvious but it's a poor idea :D
Before the last change to the stun stickies, it was somewhat possible to kill bobs with the lance in a pinch - though I can't remember what on Super Earth I was thinking the few times I did it.

Would've loved to see a melee weapon or two on it

As it stands melee weapons are only good to make funny videos. Would be nice to get some actual use out of them.

I'm pretty excited for this update TBH, I like the concept of the caves and am looking forward to seeing how it switches up gameplay.
Plus incendiary assault rifle looks ace

The devs talk about light-related gameplay features in caves had me wishing we had DRG-style flares in addition to flashlights.
