Can I infer from this experience that SMD inductors of over a few uH
are a waste of time?

ANY part used to perform a function which it is not suited for is a
waste of time. It would be interesting to know which SMD inductors you used
that seemed to eat up the 40 MHz so effectively. I'd be willing to bet that a
quick look at the spec sheet would show why that particular part was a bad
choice for that particular job.
