Mechs for building and industry, especially in Space would be worth the expense, the advantages of having a machine that can walk and lift objects up directly would be worth it.

To be honest its hard to imagin something like a Valkirie being built in the near future, to make a 30 foot machine to walk like a human would be so expensive to build and maintane, not many people would see any point in wasting large sums of Money on a machine so complex, if any mechs are built built for military use they would probably end up looking like something like the Mad Cat from Mech Warrior, or multi-ped machines like from GITS
