Fast blockchains with sub-second block times actually fit. I agree that most implementations of blockchain are awful - but this just technically makes use of the nature of its immutability - and would showcase Ricardian contracts (600+ pages of text) versus smart contracts (garbled memos)

As GP said, you are trying to answer a question: "How do I apply blockchain here". This is never a right question, you should instead be asking: "which technology will allow to solve this problem in the most optimal way according to users".
