Good write up. I like to use them, but agree that you can micro your way around not using them.
So many players complain about having to micrro, and act as if it is broken AI, when it is really they don't use Signal companies.

The fine graph that @Emren put into the HOI4 wiki page on May 9th regarding Signal companies, greatly illustrates the effect that signal companies would have on reserves entering battle. It seems to me that this might be worthwhile for those players that primarily use 10 inf/0 art or 20inf/0 art divisions in a defensive strategy where the reserve divisions are constantly being rotated into battle and out of battle.

Man, I stay away from the forum of a month, and I feel re-lost again despite 2,000 hours (at least in HOI 4). I wish the changes would stop or slow down, or something.

Anyway, so is it correct to summarize that (1) if you micro in SP (which I do), Signals are something you should pass on? (2) I see a blurb above about Engineers not being very useful except in Naval invade. That has got to be incorrect, right?
