Lox are excellent allies against any foes, and can be a real asset during invasions, especially "You Are Being Hunted" when one is attacked by wave after wave of wolves. Taming them early means by the time you can really use them you should have a decent sized cabinet of lox, not only to assist you during future invasion events, but as a source of reagents for Baked Lox Pie. There really is no downside to taming lox at any point in one's progression.

Having a large cabinet of lox near the Black Forest biome, will clearcut all the trees and shrubs, making hunting deer a breeze. Tamed lox will also kill deer. When I am in need of meat for my tamed wolves, I head to our lox island. This was an island with a small Plains biome, a small Swamp biome and a large Black Forest biome. It is now nearly void of any flora and is a great place to hunt deer. On many occasions the lox have already done most of the work for me, and all I have to do is pick up deer bits and parts laying about, not to mention a plethora of Greydwarf reagents.

But again opening the saddle recipe doesnt have any bearing in the bronze age because:

1. You need dark metal bars and linen to craft.
2. You cant craft dark metal bars or linen without the blast furnace and spinning wheel respectively.
3. You cant craft the blast furnance or spinning wheel without crafting an artisan table.
4. You cant craft the artisan table without getting moder's tears.
5. You cant get moder's tears without defeating moder.

----------------------
As for moving a lox, you can only push a full grown lox when sprinting and only a very small amount.

If the lox moves, its movement is strong enough to overcome your sprint push, so maneuvering them is not necessarily easy.
-----------------------

"You are being hunted" Event will not trigger during the bronze age. Its a post bonemass killing event thus iron-silver age.

Having lox "clear trees" usually is only optimal while riding/charging or when they attack and aoe everything around them. Since the above mentioning how they're hard to control without a saddle, their effectiveness is more random to the context of the situation since you cant have a lox "follow" you (which I think is a shame).

Lox pies can't be baked until post moder killing due to the mats required to make the oven. Barley (from plains) can't be turned into flower either until post moder with the artisan table making the windmill.

If the OP wants to tame them Im certainly not saying they shouldn't Im just saying the effectiveness in using them is much more situational/random.
