For what it is worth, I would say absolutely yes.
Outside of what you describe below in terms of obvious use cases, let me give 
you an example of a geo-specific use case that is not so obvious - Japan and 
contact sync.

In Japan, with a lot of their feature phones, VCards can contain fields with 
phonetic version of contact family and given names.
It should be possible to use them as sorting keys for database queries as for 
some languages like e.g. Japanese it is not possible to generate correct 
sorting order even using ICU library, as the same Kanji characters can have 
different pronunciation e.g.:
* 淳子 (Junko)
* 淳子 (Atsuko)
* 淳子 (Kiyoko)
* 淳子 (Akiko)
More information can be found here:
http://www.localizingjapan.com/blog/2011/02/13/sorting-in-japanese-%E2%80%94-an-unsolved-problem/

VCards supports additional fields that can contain phonetic version of names 
allowing for correct sorting order in above cases.
As these fields are not standardized different VCard providers can use 
different fields to store phonetic information e.g.
Android phones, Google Contacts and iCloud is using "X-PHONETIC-FIRST-NAME" and 
"X-PHONETIC-LAST-NAME" fields, BlackBerry Z10 uses "X-FAMILYNAME-SOUND" and 
"X-GIVENNAME-SOUND", also according to 
http://www.mcpc-jp.org/news/pdf/TR-015vCard_Guideline_V1.00.pdf
"X-YOMI-FNAME" and "X-YOMI-LNAME" can be used.

So, why is this important re OPP?
The problem is that not all phones are sending this phonetic fields when using 
PBAP, but sending them when using OPP (e.g. BlackBerry Z10).
So, looking purely at the BT standards you would say PBAP should provide you 
all you need, but deploy in Japan for example and PBAP has issues, and you end 
up requiring OPP as your primary protocol to transport contacts to the head 
unit.

Does that help?

Tom.
