Bench thralls don’t current count towards the limit.
But that may be changing as more thralls becomes like the Barkeep.

That having been said, current bench thralls are unable to be followers. The two are distinct, one being a follower, the other being basically an item that slots into the bench.

There is much speculation about whether craft thralls are going to change in the not distant future.

That having been said, a non-follower source of corruption cleansing (or inflicting, for that matter) in an area would be nice.
