I thought of a few use cases...

A more granular way to block requests than what cloudflare provides (IP, BGP AS, country)

Tokenizing credit cards at the edge if you have a payment provider that supports that, and are using CF's PCI compliant environment.

Injecting a unique ID into requests for log correlation. You get collisions if you do this via browser javascript for various reasons. I'm assuming v8 has a better Math.random(), or that you would at least be able to find a workaround since it's in one stack.

I'm sure there's more.
