Your list almost exactly matches my experience and deserves to be a blog post explaining how to use LLM coding agents effectively.
However, I think the applicability is beyond frontend (and to be fair you said "like CRUD apps / frontend"). There are a lot of domains where patterns are clearly established and easily reproduceable. For example, I had a basic XML doc type and with a couple of simple prompts in Claude Code I was able to: add namespaces, add an XSD, add an XSL to style into HTML, add full unit tests. That isn't rocket science, but it isn't code I really want to write. In 5 minutes I leveled up my XML doc significantly with a few hundred lines of XSD/XSL/tests.
This example is a case where I happily pass the task to an LLM. It is a bit like eating my vegetables. I find almost no joy in writing schema docs or tests, even when I recognize the value in having them. The XSL to HTML is a nice added bonus that cost me nothing.
