It can apply to a lot of use cases, the barrier to mint is to low that ones could imagine even platform-specific mints like a online poker that emits his fiches as ecash, or a subscription based service that emits ecash that can be redeemed for "some time of the service".
There are even pure-technical utilizes, like the new wasaby coinjoin where a form of ecash is utilizes as token in the process.
Also the "uncle jim running a mint for family and friends" is a use case, in particular it is a good fit for fedimint.
I think also mints from companies/trusted-people from the internet could be successful; trust is the key in my opinion (at the opposite of bitcoin, in some ways...) but the amount stacked is so low (hot spending wallets) and the benefit of use it are so clean (offline capabilities, super privacy + all the benefit from using a custodial lightning) that it could scale well.
