They were interesting when they took over OBrien’s wife, I didn’t enjoy most of the Bajoran religious episodes though.
I also found it annoying that their incorporeal nature was inconsistent. They live outside of time, and they basically possessed his mother‘s body for like 2 years and forced her to have sex with a man and give birth to him so that they could create a timeline where Sisko exists. Yet they were surprised that he wanted to get married and they told him he’d live a life of pain if he did so, and yet nothing came of that.

You can always cop out of these conundrums with the “lord works in mysterious ways” rhetoric.
Perhaps they needed to act surprised and tell him that in order to steer events in the right direction.
