Yes, for the defending side, ballistics are exactly what they need. It also doesn't hurt the Barbarians:D (and neither does it hurt the Knights - without this ballistics skill, they would have big problems due to the lack of flying units and almost complete absence of ranged units - their female units hit hard, but they die too quickly), but for the others...
Mages don't care at all whether the enemy has towers or walls - the towers still hit Titans, and they have so many ranged units that the enemy's firepower is easily neutralized (evil Hobbits!:D). Walls don't provide cover if you have the Marksman skill, and this skill is simply essential for Mages!
Ballistics certainly don't hurt the Necromancers, but they don't really need it either. They don't have any ranged units (Centaurs are useless!), they have three flying units, and only Hydras remain, which, however, almost never move anywhere:D and are only good for defense, along with Minotaurs. Yes, they fight well, but is it worth taking an entire skill just for them? Especially since the focus is still on magic and dragons?
Ballistics are not very useful for the Necromancers - if the Barbarians and Knights at least have someone to save from the towers (ranged units for the Barbarians and all their warriors for the Knights:)), then the Liches will be destroyed anyway, and the rest will be fine with the holes that are made, so to speak, naturally:)
The Sorceresses almost don't need ballistics - they have many ranged units, they are often offered a corresponding skill, and they also have enough flying units.
Regarding scouting, on large maps, it's good to have two heroes with scouting skills to explore in different directions. In general, my main hero usually travels through unexplored territory, as he strives to quickly collect artifacts, mines, resources - and enemy cities, if they happen to appear;-) - and it is not only inconvenient but also impossible to send someone ahead of him - the passages are constantly guarded by some neutral creatures. So, scouting is, in my opinion, a useful thing
