Another escort mission that I don't remember having a big problem with was Resident Evil 4. Ashley was pretty responsive as an AI character, and there were a lot of ways to keep her safe. In fact on my first blind playthrough there was only one time I remember her even getting picked up by the bad guys, and that's because the scene put you apart from her and dropped the enemies right next to her via a cutscene. Granted, I don't remember much about her as a CHARACTER, but as a gameplay element it wasn't SO bad.
What's the worst though is escort missions where the NPC is UNBEARABLY SLOW. I think the worst example of this is Lagoon, there are several instances where you get an NPC to follow you, and they move like snails.
