In general, I agree with you. There however are a few exceptions, most notably the shadow demon, the boar can also do some damage. Armor penetration affecting pets can actually be meaningful in such cases.
Again, I'm not saying that pets do not need a serious rework, including their damage. Cause they really do.
Not only a serious rework, they are completely broken - most of the cases their damage does not even change whether you have 3xLoyal Avenger with r12s in them, or nothing at all, or only changes the damage by 1.
I tried to report it a few times, as others did .. but you know how things work here.

The Lightning/Steel Blitz bug is still active and being exploited so much it has become mainstream. Holy Avenger is still bugged, it buffs itself, and only itself, for stupid amounts of damage, this is now also mainstream. Owlbear Cub with Pillar of Power is still an issue. Aura of Courage uses party members' HP value instead of the Paladins, and it is buffed by almost everything. Any news on these game-breaking bugs?
Please don't change the Owlbear Cub/Pillar of Power interaction before looking hardly into the SW Temptation feat tree (which has been neglected in the SW balance pass). At the moment the Cub is a large part of the overall performance of the tree.

No kidding? Who else should it be buffing if it only states it should buff the user? The buff amount is as described in the tooltip, which always equals a 33% bonus on the original hit of the weapon enchant, and is always equal to the amount listed in the tooltip. Yes, it is powerful, yes it is mainstream, but could you please explain what you mean by "bugged" when everything you have stated so far has been working as the tooltip says it should?

Try pairing a temptation SW with a justice healadin with Burning Guidance and Healing warmth and prism. I have to admit it would be kind of cool to see all those BG and HW triggers if my client didn't get close to crash every time, it was a bit a lame solution. So yeah i hope a full companion rework comes soon, both active bonus and companions competence would help buffer path viability.
I know that isn't the best place to add a suggestion, but, could you add new apparences in Manthol Derith vendor? Elementary weapons main and off-hand) will be welcome.

FYI... Preview was patched today with no announcement of it. Primal gear skins are live....

@terramak Armor penetration is still not working right. Here is a log with both 1248 Armour penetration and 1400 on a enemy with 60% DR.
For reasons of natural companion stats and purpose of equipment investment i would change it to something like this:
https://www.desmos.com/calculator/mlrp8tecpt
The first kill - Fang.
(Spent on bait, used - kill Dendar)
Further - The next ten kills - There is no loot, not even gold.
Something is wrong here.
I tried to report it a few times, as others did .. but you know how things work here.
