Are combat allies broken in AE missions?

They won't fight no matter what.

This may not be limited to AE. I was doing the last mission of the Introduction to Ouroboros arc last night, and Mender Lazarus would not help me beat on the Meteor. I'm not sure if it was just the Meteor, or if it was all fighting though, didn't go near any shivans once I got ML. I've got lots of alts starting that arc though, so I can check it more thoroughly later.

Mender Lazarus has been broken for a while, I did that arc on my troller about a month ago and he didn't attack the meteor back then either. I do remember him helping when the arc first came out, cos I was on my emp/arch defender and was exceedingly relieved I wouldn't have to plink an item with object-level health to death.

Have you tried re-clicking on the ally, as you sometimes have to do if you get out of range and they lost their lock on you.

I found this sometimes helps with borked combat allies too, tag them move away from them so they follow you and their AI kicks in to go into combat again.

Hope it helps as a workaround until it's properly fixed.

I replayed a bunch of my missions over the weekend and all my allies worked fine. Or at least no worse than before Issue 17.

One of my AE missions (created shortly after I14) has an ally--sometimes he fights, and sometimes he stands there like an idiot doing nothing. So the ally AI in AE does seem a bit wonky, and I think always has been.

As for allies outside of AE, I did two missions yesterday with allies and both helped out just like they were supposed to, but non AE allies can be a bit wonky too.
