What is the primary use case that you imagine?

A replacement for complicated bash/zsh scripts? Helping devops manage servers? That type of stuff?

Or actual full-blown utilities like CLIs.

The primary use case I'm focusing on is ad-hoc scripting: When you have a task that involves some files, some servers, some HTTP requests, some command line tools, some data manipulation -- or a combination of all that -- and you just want to get a correct result quickly without fuzz.
