IMHO, this is what Notion gets right. At heart, it's less of a todo/work tracking app per se and more of a database with user-friendly views, many of which can be tailored to todo/work tracking, and many of which come with reasonable default setups that match common usage patterns.
We're using Notion right now to manage user research, sprint kanban boards, and a wiki for a Code for Canada project. As part of the wiki side, we can embed InVision mocks, RealtimeBoards, Google Drive docs, and many other things directly into our pages, in a way that allows us to interact with (comment, edit, etc.) them. About the only thing I find missing is full-text search across pages; other than that, it's been really quite great as a central place to organize the whole project.
No idea if that will remain true as they scale up, but for now they seem to have found a way to break the "only works for a specific niche" pattern, and they're carving out a meta-niche of "teams whose work isn't easily captured by previously defined specific niches".
