Nice to see CRDTs mentioned in the capacity of decentralisation, they are almost always solely thought of in the synchronous real-time collaboration sense.
This current trend of synchronous real-time collaboration tools is brilliant, but only half the story when it comes to collaborative work (also mentioned in the OP). Asynchronous collaboration is how most of us spend our time working, and always will. CRDTs are also brilliant for that type of application, you can "fork" a document/structure and later merge them together (mostly) unaided. There is a massive need for improvements to the workflows that these can be applied to.
