Sadly that's true.The Path of Heroes is not an option, because those characters can't join any units. And in order to get a Harlequin detachment, you need 3 Troupes.

If it only were 3 Troops! You also need 2 fast attack and one heavy support, It's way to big a commitment in my opinion.

Why not putting those heroes into venoms?
Those that need it at least...

Whenever I'm seeing this thread I think of:
Why bring back the beast pack? Why not bring Sexy back?

Question on the jetbike characters. If they join the squad, how are assaults determined? They don't have Fleet. That seems like a significant drawback for the unit as it is primarily for assault. How do people get around that?

Easy: every model needs Fleet, otherwise you can't use it.

That's what I was wondering. If the jetbike doesn't have it, the charge range is significantly less reliable. So it doesn't seem like a good combo to have a jetbike Autarch or Farseer...

Oops. Well jump pack autarch. Or maybe even a void dreamer. Warp blink or webway tunnel make clawed fiends kind of scary.
