Mountains can give you sovereignity boost for chain, swords, plate and infantry but yes sieges defended on a mountain by alot of archers is hard to kill.
 
All in all I find it worth building cities on mountains.

I have never seen a mountain with 7 farms.....
That's the major downside IMO, but for the rest, yes mountains rule !

you teleported there right sloter ?
normally a mountain would not hold 7 farms as terrain to settle on. Otherwise you indeed have a rare discovery

mountains with 6 food tiles are plenty. 
They generally have two resource tiles less in total (distributions like 7 4 3 3 6)

I think these 6 food tile mountains are wooded mountains so I am not sure if the wood negative to raunge counters the mountain positive to range in regards overall defenses bonuses.
