Revision bumps are necessary when there are changes made to the files that are
installed by a package.  That's it.

When bumping to EAPI 5 it is recommended to do a rev bump so this sub-slot
business can be recorded in the vdb.

Are there any others that aren't personal opinion?

Course you can do a rev bump for whatever reason you want, but some people will
frown on it unless you have a good reason.  eg. if you revbump a stable ebuild
for a build fix i will spend some time sighing at my screen.
