Is Minfilia always useless ?

The problem with Minfillia is that she's a diplomat and an administrator. So she doesn't get many chances to show her skills, since they happen off-screen. Dont worry, with as few spoilers as possible... it gets better.

That is why i think Papalymo would be better. He has brains and actually isn't as naive as Minfilia and Alphinaud .

Minfillia isn't naive though? She knows exactly why the Scions as a whole turned down the "offer" they were given by Lolorito for an aetherite in Vespers Bay. Because they know he and many others would want them to do favors. Another part of Minfillia's problem is a lot of the action she was seen doing was in 1.0 where she was in charge of the path of the 12. Where she sent out others who had the echo to not only find more with it, but to research it. I know many think they would want an already sluggish quest back in 2.0 to have us arrive with delegates exiting the solar either in the waking sands or rising stones and see them grumbling and then give the WoL a look with the WoL giving them a shrug before walking into the Solar. Or have her give the WoL the one more minute gesture while she's on a linkpearl conversation that's not the two times she does so with Krile. People would complain about how an already slow thing is even slower than it needs to be. Heck one of the reasons she even gets kidnapped is due to Midgardsormr depowering our blessing of light.
