You get ~10m AP from a regular 6-12 hour AP mission with the bonus roll, and if you tie up your followers on elite missions, chances are you will miss out on some of the shorter missions. Even if you have dedicated +8 hour geared followers to activate, you still are limited to 1 per day, and still have the opportunity cost of having your better followers deactivated.
I don't know, I am half inclined to ignore them - at least except the Legionfall supplies mission, which gives 5 caches with a chance at legendaries.
