be bad as an all-rounder? Ie, not terrible when I do mixed runs
They'd be better than nowt, but I can't imagine they're going to be great at either trail or road. You'll do better on the trails with them, but probably find them noticeably uncomfortable on the road (although I've found this to be the case with all my trail/fell shoes). The more pronounced the tread, the better the grip in mud/loose surfaces but the worse they feel on the road. Also the grippier the rubber on wet rock/mud the quicker it will wear on the road.
Inov8 Parkclaw look good for something in between, but obviously more expensive.
FWIW, a bit of grip/tread does go a long way provided the trail isn't too rough/muddy. And they're cheap, can't hurt to give them a shot.

Okay thank you for the input. Trip to decathlon is off for today but their sub-£50 range is definitely something I'm going to try out.
Looking at maybe replacing longer weekend rides with some trains out to more interesting runs and want something at least moderately suitable, without investing too much in a slightly unknown hobby.
Will report back.

Lost my funk a bit with running but trying to claw it back. 7km last night w/ my partner then a dip into the woods at the end as she headed home had me slipping about like a dog on ice in my cheap adidas.
Will something like this:
