Of course the OM-1 is not useless! I can honestly say that, apart from
high-magnification
Macro work, I have never had issues with vibration on my OM-1s. I
admit I mostly use it hand-held,
but even in close-up photography (such as here, 1/60s with a 90mm
lens, hand-held) I have honestly
never seen blurring due to shutter vibration

Also, here hand-held with an OM-2n at 1/4s, absolutely no camera shake:

And finally, I think the highest-resolution 35mm photograph I have
made yet was with
the OM-1 and the 250mm f/2 (which, of course, absorbs vibration due to
it's sheer weight).
