In my experience for most REST APIs use cases HATEOAS is not needed or not that useful. Writing a REST API for your mobile application? What do you need HATEOAS for? Do you really think it can replace documentation?
On the other hand all the rest of nice bonuses of REST APIs are very useful in such a use case.
