Not really. They still take a lot of time to deal with.
They're pretty easy to counter in Rome 2, you just need to remember it's necessary and not all-in on heavy infantry. Infantry skirmishers clap them right back to the steppes and there are good auxiliary cavalry options from the start available in Italy.
I definitely remember being frustrated when I first played it trying to chase them around with legionaries but the correct answer is don't do that then.
