They are quite useful, but not the absolute best stat, as you stated. The most glaring deficiency is that per 36 min stats are not pace adjusted, so in many circumstances it's better to look at ratings & percentages, etc...
As for your assertion, it's true that a player isn't going to play as hard for 36 minutes as he's going to play for 20, but first of all, that's besides the point if you want to find out how productive a player is while he's on the court. Whether or not he can stay on the court that long, the stats give you a good indication of what he does when he's on it. And also, players generally produce pretty similar numbers whether they play 26 or 36 minutes. Most players play a certain way instinctively and playing more minutes generally doesn't change that. For example, look at Marco Belinelli's stats...

“As a captain, I played furiously. I drew a lot of fouls, but I brought everything I had to every practice and to every game. I left everything on the court because I simply wanted the team to win”
