However, I don't see what is so wrong with being "SS or SD" with the MMs - while they can't do what they'd do as effectively as the other PRTs, it seems that they could cause quite a few problems, like sneaking up on enemy mining operations or laying minefields to disrupt freighter lines. What would you use MMs for then?

For same thing as you say but not in so dramatic mastabes. 
HE is no SS (whatever he thinks).  This ship is bit too expensive compared to quite little annoyance it causes in deep enemy territory. Think ... what year it can be built? 50 ... or so. It is midgame ship unlike SS who got 75% cloak at turn 0 or SD who can have minefield at turn 1. There is not so lot of cargo hauling going on anymore, minefields are thick, scanner coverage is OK and freighters can just go around such little field until handful of destroyers sweeps them away. Besides, HE got safe warp 4 inside enemy fields unlike SS or SD, so it does not run out of fuel even with daddy legs 7 too quick.
It is nice to have such ships around to make skirmishing, sweeping and border attack operations smoother, to block enemy retreat ... etc. There unexpected handful of little minefields may change something but there it may get fuel from nearby docks if needed so why scoops?  In deep opponent territory a Dolphin scanner on fuelless ship is lot better thing to have than Mine dispenser 50 on blind ship with fuel.
