I think the Wise would have been incompetent if they had not picked out the best means of disposing of their little problem.
They decided that the best solution was to destroy the Ring (thinking out of the box). They endeavored to get that job done. They did a darn good job of keeping Sauron completely bamboozeled about their true intentions.
That does not sound terribly incompetent to me.
