I'm curious about what roles you think someone like this could bring value to. If "people do not trust them to do anything that actually needs to work", aren't they a liability to the team?

Sales-like roles are usually a good fit. Leadership if they are aware of their limitations. Also useful in planning / strategy because they usually have a good sense of what is hot / what will sell. Main thing is that you them want to have them with someone who is competent, and they have to trust and be willing to defer.
