For the most part CRDTs of all types solve primarily one problem. The "lost update" problem.
When I worked with CRDTs---even inventing a new one based on R*-trees---they were most useful for objects/structures that needed constant mutating by lots and lots of participants concurrently where it made sense to trade constant coordination/protection overhead for lazy-evaluation/merging. Like in a settlement ledger, or massive leaderboard, or indexing structure, etc.
