Are these reports in any sense useful for you?

No problem removing them.
Not really useful in my experience, except very rarely as a relative indicator of the direction things are moving.

As a corollary, I will note that some users where I work seemed mesmerized by high scores (10/10, etc) and relied on them, not being aware that pylint wasn't some all-seeing-all-knowing Python code genie. I tried to disabuse them of that notion. I think it would be better to remove them and make people (especially Python newbies) focus on individual messages.
