Problem is what use cases are strictly OLTP? At this point, I’d consider Scylla/C* to usable for a write-only workload with single-row lookups, or a single-column range lookup.

Same question has to be raised: do you have enough rows to justify a distributed Scylla/C* or could you have used MySQL or Postgres on a giant box?

Plenty of OLTP scenarios that need distributed scale and/or high availability of C* - we use it for user profiles/session storage, counters and some high-volume logging that needs access to individual events.
