Fuzzy Logic has some utility in engineering applications, because it can be intuitive for humans interpret and to create rules using it. Interpretability is also the strong point of neuro-fuzzy logic (hybrid system). Applications are usually control systems, business logic, or embedded systems with tight resource constraints.

In academic research it's not that interesting, because it's just one multi-valued logic among others, subset of infinite-valued logic. It's not very useful in machine learning because there are no efficient way to learn fuzzy rules automatically.

This is pretty much my recollection of learning it at university in the early 2000's. Learning rules automatically wasn't so much of a thing; people were far more interested in being able to efficiently get rules from expert humans into the systems without too many intermediate steps.
could you have LLMs generate LFLMs (large fuzzy logic models)? :D
