My guess is that the various "support" functions actually have benefits in Yggdrasil. For instance, the maids probably decrease the upkeep/repair costs for Nazarick as a whole. A special intelligence officer might provide things like additional scrying on enemy actions inside the tomb, or maybe a bonus of some kind to looting defeated enemies. Maximal immersion would be having a bonus of being able to peruse a history of the recent actions of enemies defeated in Nazarick, get information on their base and stuff, but simply increasing the number of items you could loot for killing them would also be pretty good.

Of course, it could be that the maids/footmen have no actual function and are just for fun. It doesn't seem genuinely likely, but it's quite possible. After all, the various accoutrements of Nigredo's hideout are almost useless except to freak out the guildmembers themselves. In that case, Neuronist could be just an elaborate joke about kidney stones.
