Sure. Buying and selling stuff that's "deplatformed" by Paypal / Zelle / Venmo (nothing illegal, their lists of prohibited items are as long as they are silly). Paying roofers and other local contractors who often aren't set up to take credit cards, especially if you venture outside a major metro area. Paying for a car without financing. Refunds from my own bank.

A cheque cheque (not sure what the right name for it is), not a cashiers cheque?

Unless you look sketchy, dealerships take personal checks.
A personal check

(US American spelling)

Local contractors (at least in the Bay Area) take Venmo or Zelle nowdays. Lawyers too.
