I used one of those a few years ago, but not on buses. It was good value
for the trips I made on the day, and I was surprised that it isn't
publicised to tourists (or not noticeably). They plug the Paris Visite
pass in the tourist literature, but not Mobilis.

I've never used the Paris Visite because like all such "special" tickets
it is a rip off unless you can guarantee to use all of the add on extra
discounts.

As suggested by another poster I had not considered the Carte Orange as
an option as I perhaps foolishly assumed you had to be a resident as
employers pay part of the costs of such tickets IIRC? I may need to do
some more investigation.
