or maybe they are, that's the point of the question, imho, the world seems to be "darker" so to speak in the epilogue, while that is because the world became a worse place because of madoka's wish (butch gen at work) or just as contrast to madoka's wish maters too.

The world didn't strike me as a darker place post-Madoka wish than it was before. It didn't strike me as any better for your average everyday person, but nor did it strike me as any worse.
Ultimately, these new demon creatures didn't strike me as any worse than the old witches and familiars, and that's probably what would matter most as far as the world in general is concerned. But then, we'd need to spend a bit more time in post-Madoka world to know for sure, and that's where the third movie comes in. If we see these demons creating chaos and destruction on an even larger scale than what Walpurgis Night would have done, then we can determine that Madoka's wish probably caused more bad than good. Otherwise, I'd be inclined to think that Madoka's wish caused more good than bad.

I mean hell, I know they weren't the focus and they had extremely little screentime, but the Wraiths seem to be much easier to dispose of than the Witches and their familiars. They don't even have barriers to hide in.

then there is despair, now that qb's don't get as much energy they might be getting more girls to contract just to gather more energy, but then again they don't gain energy from the mahou shoujo to witch conversion so I guess they only gain energy from defeating enemies.

The thing is, it doesn't matter how many Puella Magi there are since the number of Wraiths, and thus Grief Cubes, is fixed. Multiple Puella Magi only creates competition, and thus a net loss of energy.
Madoka's system is unambiguously better than the old one in every way, even if it's not perfect.

the number of demon (or Wraiths) is NOT fixed, they are manifestation of human's grief and negative emotion. the reason they not exist in the old world is because witches used to consume them before they strong enough to manifest .

What I mean is that the creation of more Puella Magi doesn't create more Wraiths like it does with Witches. Nothing the Incubators do can really change the number or rate of Wraith generation. The more Magical Girls you contract, the less Grief Cubes there are to go around, and the Incubators needs to keep them alive as long as possible in this universe.
