But effective or not, the army of the Dead would have proved a very needed support when the confrontation at the Morannon.
If they are not effective then they would not be a great support at the Morannon. You can't have that both ways.

Fear was indeed their biggest weapon, but not the only one.
I'm not sure about that. I think that fear probably was their only effective weapon.

being dead, they cant be destroyed by the Dark Lord's army
And neither could they destroy the Dark Lord's army. I don't think that they could impact the physical world anymore. Baldor seems to have died of fear and the blades of the Dead did not seem to "bite" the Haradrim. It would have been a rather dull battle with neither side able to do anything to the other (assuming that the orcs stood their ground).
