I'll be ok with the fact that turrets are effected by status effects now, but in my opinion their considered buildings, not people.
I could imagine this being helpful, as well as overpowered. Stunning a turret with fear seems, overpowered but could be useful, while using charm on a turret would simply seem strange and weird, as well as it being overpowered. Ultimately if the turrets will allow the turrets to gain status effects, I think here should be some effects that can't target buildings and such.
I haven't tested the new patch and I doubt that I'll get to the turrets any time soon, so this is early opinion on the latest patch update.
