While I agree that balance is not an absolute necessary in a single-player game, poor balance can be bad game design as it skews the challenge.
Saying something is only overpowered if it is useful the ENTIRE game is a false standard.
Being overpowered simply means having a usefulness greatly above the average.
KB uses a leadership system to try and equalize units (e.g., dragons are obviously better 1 for 1, but is a single dragon better than 1000 of something else?)- the reason that dryads are WAAAY above the average is that what you get per point of leadership is GREATLY undervalued, in terms of leadership.
Do dryads need a nerf? Not necessarily. Are they VASTLY better than the average, per point of leadership? Undoubtably.
