I've got a 3b+ and a 1b, and whilst only the 3b is in use currently, I have plans for the other.
The 3b runs libreelec for a tv in my bedroom. I found my 1b to be too slow for this, but the 3b+ does admirably.
The 1b, I hope to repurpose into a couple of services:
1) a pihole for my home network
2) a Wireguard VPN for connecting my phone back to my home network.
This is all sort of waiting on me getting usable internet, because my 700kbps upload currently sort of makes it pointless. However, I'd like to do this once I have better internet so I can use my phone as if I'm on my home network. This will provide me with several benefits:
1) I will be able to stream media when travelling for work
2) My phone will benefit from the pihole even when out and about
3) I will be able to control my home network as if at home
4) It will provide another endpoint for hurdling the GFW when I work in China
I hope to start all of this next year, once I move house or when I finally receive a proper internet connection rolled out to my place. If the 1b is too weak for those services, then I will probably repurpose it into some sort of automation system for watering plants, since once again due to work travel I routinely have to lug them over to relatives' houses whenever I'm away for a week or more.
