Owning the Sony QX10 which arguably (along with the QX100) started the phone "lensor" niche, I can say that the wireless experience is not a good one. Takes too long to connect for each use. If a physical direct connection is much better than that, it would remove one barrier to regular use.
Still, it is another device to carry around. It doesn't look like something you can leave mounted, so you will still have to remove/connect it as needed to keep it out of the way.
Giving them benefit of the doubt on quality, you still can't escape it is a small sensor with a prime lens on it. Is there enough of a gap between the quality and convenience of the phone's built in camera, and going for a dedicated camera of some kind? I suspect it is too small of a niche. At least with the wireless devices, the camera doesn't necessarily have to be tied to the phone allowing some use cases there.
