I think the good outweighs the bad with these series who are clearly geared toward boys of this age - if it makes them love reading, then it's worth it!
See, I'm the PP who discouraged Wimpy Kid. I much preferred Captain Underpants. Better written and funnier. Wimpy Kid is just unpleasant.
I think you should just go with what you're comfortable with. Every family has different opinions, and each kid is different. I HATED some of those My Weird School books also because the characters were so damn rude.
