When they aren't directly useful in combat, they usually have another use. The potions of genius are INVALUABLE for scroll memorization - unless you prefer to reload until you memorize successfully. As does any intelligence boost.
As for 'clarity of thought'...what's that one's effects, exactly. I can't quite remember.
In any case, a temporary raise to any of the attributes is a boon...with the possible exception of Wisdom, which as far as I know has no practical reason for a temporary boost.
