I also didn't see Hogarth as a wasted character at all. IMO she had a rather prominent role in the series. I thought the relationship of Jones and Hogarth was among the most interesting ones. It was complicated and not easily defined, but had obvious and very natural reasons for existing.
Both could do for the other what they couldn't do themselves, and they were both people who frequently needed that kind of help. They weren't exactly friends, but not really enemies either. And there was some clear mutual respect. Essentially a very authentic human relationship that I think was used effectively to show a certain ruthless side of Jessicas personality.
