'Could never be a threat...' - honestly, I doubt that. Sure, we've seen them mow down hoards of Grimm... but always the younger, weaker, attackattackattackattack Grimm.

The moment they actually face older, stronger, smarter Grimm, they face trouble. Team RWBY vs The Nevermore, Team JNPR vs The DeathStalker, Jaune (and Cardin) vs that big Ursa... finally ending thus far with the Goliaths, who are roughly 200 feet tall, and bullets from Crescent Rose would literally be nothing more than a nuisance.

That, plus the fact the moment a person's Aura goes down to zero, they're as vulnerable as we are; the emotions of survival in facing Grimm only bring more of them; and the implication that there's millions or more Grimm beyond the Kingdoms (young or otherwise), just waiting for a pool of negative emotions... and it's not hard to see why they're still a threat to the world. In your average battle, Hunstmen ultimately win, but when battles turn into one of attrition, the never-ending waves of Grimm would win at the end

The Kingdoms are in a time of peace, and they do wield major power to drive back the Grimm... but if ever that balance is upset, they would fall, as so many minor settlements have before. It's that factor that makes them creepy (mowing down dozens of inherently-weaker ones does not diminish that imo)
