They're pretty bad for meta-scientific research. That is, they are very much a for-human-eyeballs-only format.

Agreed, I've download parts of the sci-hub archive and want to analyze the articles but I can never even get a decent solution for extracting multilingual text. I've tried the well-known open source tools for this and none have really been satisfactory.

Try narrowing down to papers in English only ? Why try to deal with a problem which has no feasible solution for now ?
