Familiars are mostly useful for their HP bonus, but they do have their other uses (albeit minor ones).

The spell Glitterdust is useful against enemies that like to go Invisible (I'm thinking of a certain pain in the @$$ in ToB), Protection from Evil will spare you a spell slot if you like to summon Demons, etc. But my favorite setup is a Chaotic Neutral Swashbuckler->Mage who puts is points into everything except Hide in Shadows and Move Silently.
