Where the pauses in a particular sentence become too complex to convey via commas alone I usually fall back on hyphens first and parentheses second. So:
Other than that I am - as usual - of no value whatsoever, other than as a great way of distributing commas.
[Note that I've also removed the first comma, since it didn't correspond to a pause the way I would speak the sentence !]
