No mostly a nuisance, in soil they can be beneficial

They could be fun gas knat larvae , it's hard to tell from the photo but if they are, then they are almost mature. If you ha e fun gas moats then it is highly possible.
I find it very easy to get rid of knats using growstone fungas gnat nix, just pour on top of the medium, slow down on the watering and add yellow sticky traps.

Like a charm. I had them once a year ago, and fixed the problem real fast. The fungus gnat mix works by stopping the cycle by not allowing the larvae to crawl out of the soil and adults from laying eggs on top of the soil.
Yellow sticky traps will keep trap of progress and help kill adults.

They feed off the roots and live in soil so I'm wondering how they are surviving in your setup..
