They are inherently damaging to the game itself since killers should always be able to track survivors by ear to some extent. Making tracking add-ons and perks that do what the base game used to is silly. As is the fact that No Mither does basically nothing and Iron Will does way too much by completely removing any audio clues from a chase.
If you don't think they're useful you need to play this game with headphones. There's a significant difference as you'll very quickly learn there's more sounds than breathing (footsteps, grass moving, creaking from vaulting, etc)

Aside from Spirit, I can't see myself using Stridor for any other killer.
Audio plays a big role in tracking, So yes.
