Well, I think it's too soon to write off most of the Ritters yet. We've only seen a handful of them in battle. Heck, BG9 and Cang Du who stole Sûi-Feng's and Hitsugaya's Bankais didn't even fight.

I agree that as of now, a part of the Stern Ritters doesn't seem to be much. And a fair part of them might get killed in the next battle(s). Jerome Guizbatt, Berenice Gabrielli and Loyd Lloyd even got killed off-screen, we didn't even see them until Kenpachi showed up with their corpses on his shoulders.
