It's a little YAGNI - I think the biggest driver of Redis in community was for exactly what you described aysnc jobs and the tool most folks reached for was Sidekiq.
The 2024 Rails community survey just came out and Redis is still listed as the top datastore that people use in their apps.
FWIW - we found that while many folks are _using_ Redis in their apps, they're just using it for things like Sidekiq and not actually taking advantage of it for holding things like real time leaderboards, vector db functions, etc. so it's a little fuzzy the actual usage.
