Im kinda okay with automation in the form of farming as described above(fishing, farming, chopping, etc). Yes, some people will be lazy and only use it, But I use Ancient Warfare 2 to do automation to make villages that are lively, and it works great.

So, even if not hireable, I would absolutely say to add them as villagers and have trading or something similar based on their role, in addition to the farmhand customizables. Maybe the balance factor should be that the unique farmhands cost more and require a much higher alignment.
