I think CRDTs can be applied to more than just documents, and they can for sure be applied to client-server communication, and peer-to-peer for that matter.

I used CRDT to create a collaborative graph tool using the 2P2P-Graph. There is a pretty good Wikipedia page about CRDTs, which I recommend you read. It can definitely be applied to many use cases were the datatypes such as counters, sets, maps, sequences, etc are used.
