I can see them being a huge hinderance too if the military unit relies on them too much. If the unit has to move, they'll need to either find transport for their support network, or try to sustain themselves for a while until the followers can either catch up, or a new group is established. Using the 5th and their relatively long and fast movement as an example, this could be quite some distance and for a very long time.
