Interesting to see a lot of support for Pia and Kiran Nalaar. How dependent is this card's success on the presence of a supported artifact deck or powered cards? I do like that Mom and Dad facilitate a new design space for red, but I've been skeptical of testing. I suppose since I recently added Purphoros, God of the Forge (who I consider an enchantment with upside), I should test them over Hazoret the Fervent.

P&K is not dependent at all on an artifact theme (though every signet, clue, etc, is a bonus).
It's just a Whirler Rogue worth of stats (great starting point) which can ALSO kill two problem creatures or just throw burn at your opponent's face if you're in that situation.
Agreed. Pia and Kiran give you some reach with repeatable burn or they help protect you by cluttering up the board. Three creatures, 2 of them with flying, for 4 mana is just a great value no matter the other possible synergies.
I wrote my opinion about them in length here. In short, I think artifact synergies are a rather small part of their appeal. They would be great even if they could only sacrifice thopters.
Pia and Kiran Nalaar is simply an insane Magic card. It does so much at stabilizing for midrange/control lists, providing reach for aggro lists and giving repeatable ETB trigger via Recurrring Nightmare, Reveillark, Mimic Vat, etc for shenanigans lists. It so welcome in red, a colour that used to be so unidimensional.
