In fact, I don't think the infil backpack could carry enough boomers to drop a gen, could it? You'd need to make a trip back to the terminal. At least in PS2 they can actually contribute to a fight in a meaningful way. Between the hacks, the radar gun, and SMGs/sniper rifles, they're very decent.

I was referring to zerg held bases. A good cloaker could sneak in behind the enemy and drop the gen or put on a hack. Sure the hack would only be on for a minute or so, but that is 1 minute the entire enemy army spawns slower, has to hack terms for their gear, loses their radar, loses any cave/mod benefits, etc. As for dropping gens, most would keep extra boomers in their locker. There was always lockers by the gen under the spawn room they could use, and they only had to refresh 1 time to have enough to kill the gen.
