Wii + DS can play Gamecube games, something the WiiU + 3DS combo cannot. The GBA library is a lot smaller on WiiU virtual console as well compared to the full library of GBA games playable on DS.

I think the addition of Gamecube and GBA games is more worth than the 3DS and WiiU library, if Wii and DS games is playable in both constellations. But I'm a bit biased and did not enjoy much of the WiiU and 3DS library. Still would not call the combo redundant. 

WiiU is able to play gamecube games once you homebrew your console... Likewise with the 3DS you have flashcarts that will allow you to play GBA games.

But if we consider what the systems can do with hacks and not natively nothing but the latest (and most powerful) systems will matter for the discussion. I still think there is value in being able to play the big library of physical games collected from previous systems even if we allow software changes. Most ways to obtain the iso or rom files require additional hardware or legally questionable methods as well.
