I'm also interested in the uses cases.

As a "typical" service provider (whatever that means) who doesn't have
any SR specific requirements such as service chaining, the only
reason/feature SR has which currently makes me want to deploy it is
TI-FLA (to improve our (r)LFA coverage) - but this is only for failure
scenarios so under normal working conditions as far as I know, there
is no benefit available to us right now.
