It's a maintenance-free (actually, negative maintenance) library; I don't see how this is bad at all. If you build a Paper Maker as soon as you research Writing, it'll generate thousands of gold over the course of the game. You can do far worse than this.
Yes, I don't think it's bad. In particular, 3 gold + trade route bonus probably covers the cost of maintaining a road to a new city, so a Paper Maker in every city will probably pay for linking up your civ.
However, I see it mainly as something that's a bit nice and doesn't really affect overall strategy, hence useful, but not very interesting.
