I never cared about SoB before, so I dont know how "powerful"they are.
My plan to use them as small detachment for my primary army, Mechanized IG.

Do you see this detachment usable, ideal or it's completely crap?

Saint Celestine as HQ (135)

10 Sisters with Condemnor Bolter (2x) and Storm Bolter as Troops (145)

8 Seraphims with Veteran superior, 2x Inferno pistols and Melta bomb as Fast Attack (195)

If dual FOC in effect:
8 Serafim with Veteran superior, 2x Hand flamers, powersword as additional Fast Attack (165)

That Sister blob seems a little...slow to fit in with the rest of the list. I just seems like you are giving a target for all the anti-blob most armies have, instead of having it all being useless vs your tanks In exchange i'd suggest swapping to 5 Sisters in a Repressor (The fact you are taking the Avenger means forge world is OK?). A Repressor is an amazing Sisters only transport which is a AV 13 front Rhino which carries 5 Sisters, have a Storm Bolter, Heavy Flamer and 2 Fire Points. 5 Sisters with 2 Melta's in a Repressor is a great way to spend a troupe choice because it adds to the AV wall and is good AT/AI depending on if you pick flamers or meltas.

As for the Jump Pack Sisters I'd suggest dropping the Inferno Pistols in exchange hand flamers, because they are quite simply better. 6'' Melta is not worth it, keep them in the anti troop role they excel at rather then shoe-horning them into another.

So, make Sister also mobile. Got it.
I'll consider making Rhino/Repressor model, easily swappable.

Avener is discutable. Someone don't like it, but it's mostly ok.
(If he doesn't accept Avenger, I play it as Vendetta).

Thanks for advice

If you're going to add a sisters detachment, you're better off with Celestine, 2-5 priests and a small sisters squad that you throw in a vendetta/valk. exorcist if you have the points.

Then you have a big blob of guard you attach celestine to with the priests and go to town. Otherwise, they don't really add that much to your list.

No outflanking dominion squad in an immolator? I agree with Celestine and the sisters blob. Most anti-blob armies also don't have the ap3 or better needed to wipe both them out and your own IG blob. Seraphim are garbage, no matter how you kit them out. Instead go with a few more rhino chassis vehicles (repressor, excorcist, immolator) as well as a small dominion squad with 4 meltas that can outflank and ignore cover as well as the twin-linked melta on the immolator itself. Or go with flamers if you need the anti-horde!
