All of those are better done using other technologies. I don't see what the benefit is of shoehorning a blockchain in there.
What's the killer app? Sorry to be annoying but I honestly don't see why an CIO would choose a blockchain over more traditional options for anything at all. I've been following Bitcoin and ETH for many years and I've been thinking about this a LOT and I just don't see it.

I wrote about how I approach blockchains from a capability point on view a few months ago on LI, see here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/blockchain-revolution-decentr...
I'd be happy to discuss further in private (chat/skype), but my "professional muscle memory" tells me that the only sane way of looking at a piece of technology is through its capabilities. When CIOs look for capabilities that can be met by blockchain then finding a business case becomes straightforward, otherwise it will be shoehorning as you say.
- One case would be when a corporation wants to have 2500 TPS with finality in 3 seconds using the current ethereum software, unchanged. (scalability)
- One case would be when a large-enough-corporation needs to share master data and reference data of business critical assets through different subsidiaries and third parties. (privacy)
- Remember intranets? Sometimes decision makers simply want a watered down version of a great thing. (stability, control)
If you care to include commercial DLT products, then the use cases will be different again.
