Do you think these applications are viable if the token has significant monetary/speculative value attached to it?

Absolutely - in some cases the monetary value is what makes the applications viable in the first place. It's just like any other market; in theory the price of the token should reach equilibrium to reflect the value it provides, even if there's some speculation along the way
