It's mildly interesting, until you realize all the limitations with it, and then realize that the use cases are basically nil.

There's very very few use cases where you need a specific kind of trustless consensus. In fact, the end state of these systems shows that trust is still necessary in so many other ways. So no, I don't think it's actually that interesting.
