Nicrosil Twinborn aren't actually useless.

Sure, compounding F-Nicrosil and A-Nicrosil doesn't do anything helpful for the compounder at all. But what if they can compound the Investiture in every human that Preservation gave them, which tipped the balance to Ruin? The Investiture stolen by Hemalurgic Iron, Copper, Tin, and Zinc? They'd be able to make themselves into super stable genius calculator koloss, with no drawbacks.

Except that twisting your Soul, still twists the mind/body (it's exactly the base of Forgery) and require tons of Investiture to resist the Soul's natural state so IF you could do it you will probably still affect (and I am not sure only positivelly) the body and the mind.

In this regard we don't even know if it's possible to store so selective with Nicrosil Feruchemy or if you are limited to store powers or your directly your innate investiture without a specific selection.

Compound this last one is still not useless but the main benefits you will have are probably something similar to have Breath (better Health and improved connection to the sorrund).

Has anyone ever considered that Nicrosil Compounding could compound just raw Investiture? Like, if you had some stormlight, or breath, you could store it, and then compound it?
