I have been playing STW for 2 years, and I have yet to be impressed by Yari Ashigaru.They just rout too easy.However, they have 3 good uses.
1.for the low honor ashigaru they make good garrisons cause their cheap.
2.Also for the low honor ashigaru,since they are fast you should use them to chase down routing troops to build their honor without casulaties.
3.Once upgraded and are at high honor, they do make effective shock troops.
Thats just my opinion.
