Yes, they're solely for C2-N2. He wasn't originally meant to be used as a fighting companion, so I think the quest rewards for him were a bit of an afterthought.
Do grab any fully mobbable pieces for him, since you can mod those up with more useful (i.e. non-tanky) stats for him later.
Only do this if you don't get your healer companion until late in your class story line, and you really need a healer companion now*. Reason being that your class healer companion brings more to the table with their damage and CC abilities - all the ship droid has is the heals, and you're often better off taking the gear choice for your other companion or the Commendation. And he runs into melee (although it's pretty funny watching him roundhouse kick people), whereas all of the other class healer companions are ranged.
*Jedi Knights get T7-01, a tank droid, so these droid parts are best for him; don't pass them up in the early levels unless you really like Kira.
Not sure about the Imps, but Smugglers only get their healing buddy as their last addition to the crew :(
He's often on missions when I need a healer, so C2-N2 still fills in occasionally. Though I agree, he's definitely not as useful as your class healing companion.
