I've answered some down the tree a bit for the inspirational use case for it.

Since I built it, I've started seeing it as a hammer for many nail-like problems - I think that would die down over time;

but.. I have my ESP32 "pendrive" that's net-synced. I have used it to install OS through UEFI-built-in initiator. I have added iSCSI targets to my windows laptop machine (and VMs) - while you need to deal with disconnects and reconnects, it actually works well enough.

It is a terrible idea, that doesn't sound as terrible for odd use-cases. But yes, the ESP32 over 2.4GHz over 3G internet is slow as molasses (20-30kB/s) - but when the alternative is 0.. or walking over there with a laptop, it works OK.
