I have a variety of homebrew monsters, including variant wights. However, I also use the wights as written.
They have an incentive to kill using their life drain touch to raise their zombie servants. One wight that sneaks into town and turns four families into zombies can send them on a killing spree and kill scores of NPCs, easily. I can take you a tale where an evil NPC used mass suggestion to send a small group of wights to murder and turn townsfolk ended up killing thousands of townsfolk in a night before it could be stopped... and that was just a few wights.
