As that list states there effectively is only mobility & subnet-anycast.

I have never seen anybody use mobility except for a test setup and
subnet-anycast, I actually don't know the reason for existence...
Well, there is one of course, that if you ping it you know which nodes
are configured to use that prefix, which is only useful if you have
multiple prefix on the same link.

"Production operational" use == 0 though on my score card.
