On the whole, I find them very useful but it really depends on the car. They are quite good on some cars, much less useful on others. It makes a big difference for your peace of mind and you can definitely feel it when one of them is missing, like the right mirror on some older cars (cheap bastards !), or you can't really see it because of the bucket seat or the safety net or whatnot, or the central one as on the McLaren GT3 for example.
I would suppose they're among the easier things to modelize (am I wrong ?) so I assume what you get is fairly close to reality but yeah, Helicorsa still comes in handy, first because not everyone you race with is to be trusted, second because with good positioning, Helicorsa is faster than having to turn your head and glance to the side. But then Helicorsa only works when the cars are quite close to each other.
(and yes, I saw a video of Live for speed where the guy showed how the view in the mirrors changed with the angle ; pretty cool, would be nice to have in AC)
