My reading of how this works is the seer is for use in end-game strategy

Disagree with this one a bit as well. The seer needs to identify a wolf before they get killed. They fail if they don't deliver this, they succeed if they do. As you get later in the game the dependency on the seer should diminish. There are more votes to evaluate to help flag a wolf. There are more posts to read to help flag a wolf. A wolf has to lie throughout the game and eventually they start to add up.

Of course, a seer can't deliver a wolf if they have picked the wrong people to view.

If a seer can get a wolf lynched without revealing their role that is ideal, but it is also quite hard and almost never happens.
