It certainly didn't expose the Washuu's hypocrisy. It did however create a unity. Before they were alone & Eto made it so that they had others to share in their feelings of oppression. Feelings that spurred on 'revenge'. Aogiri wasn't a group to expose, but a group to divert attention. A physical manifestation and warning off what Ghouls are capable off. Eto seemed to use them more as a wild animal, losing control to it's emotions, not minding wether it runs off a cliff or not.

Eto was practically never present when Aogiri made a move. She was always somewhere found close to Kaneki, always observing. Which makes me think she uses Aogiri as a cloak to hide her detective work. She always seems to be elsewhere, places where there's more information to gather, then just another fight between ghouls & humans.

These diversions off Aogiri, might even have made it possible for her to gather enough intel to right that book off hers. Intel she'd never have gotten, if CCG wasn't busy and focused elsewhere.

For Eto's plan these ghouls might have been crucial one by one, but if their deaths were worth it for the individuals, is hard to say. They believed they were fighting for a certain righteous cause. That in itself can hardly be called meaningless. But there is Eto telling them she is not the OEK, there is Eto telling humans she is a ghoul. This might've crushed their beliefs in one fell swoop, since they seemed to consider Eto the OEK. Following this thoughtpattern, I can only conclude that Eto never meant for them to live in the world she had planned. They were bound to die sooner or later helping her get one or two steps further in reaching her 'dream'.
