Eliwood is far from useless, if you ask me. Use him often and he becomes quite valuable. He's quick and I never had a problem with him attacking twice later in the game.
It's just that I tended to keep Eliwood near the rear of the formation and let Marcus and the other strong fighters handle the enemies. Unfortunately, you kind of need to use all three lords to have a chance in the final battle.
Oh, and as for the first part of the final mission, yeah, that's a bitch. Fortunately, one of the first enemies you encounter gives you a mean Reinfleche bow which I gave to Rath, and he summarily slaghtered just about everything else that came near him.

The Earthworker Race has ended. Everybody wins.
