For some use cases, the uniform colormaps are not the right approach in my opinion. They simply don't have have sufficient resolution.
I've tried inferno and viridis to visualize weather radar data, and... rainbow-like colormap simply works better. And this is true for most weather data like wind or temperature. With a uniform colormap, you wouldn't be able to see local variations, e.g. differences in temperature within the UK.
