Are the council worth saving?

So im about to start replaying legendary edition for about the 10th time and pretty much every time i save the council and do my best to foster cooperation between the species but knowing how deeply useless and selfish the salarians and asari are in the final reaper war is there really any value in saving them? Even from a head-canon RP standpoint does anyone think it would help the galaxy recover faster and foster real cooperation after the war or would it be the same old shit different day?

I'm not a particularly politically or logistically minded person so i would be interested to hear the takes from anyone with even a slight better head for that stuff :)
