I think the consensus is that anime style mechs are physically impossible given how fast and nimble they usually are, but if physics were no object would they be a viable solution to any real world problems?

Mechs as vehicles, absolutely not. It's much too complicated and fragile, one mild hit and it won't be able to move.

Small legged robots in large numbers is an other discussion though, and a scarier one.
