This.

NPCs that specifically fight the monsters could be helpful in some areas. NPCs that fight obstructions would either clear empty rieves on their own or just die to the monsters in empty rieves while whacking endlessly yet fruitlessly at the obstruction, depending on the NPCs' strength. I don't see either as a positive outcome.
