Hi Paul FYI from memory its been a while and I'm get old ;), the Relative priority if OFLT was matched to Vega Prime to basically help with sub facing in Creator and doing runway markings etc by using the RP to do offsetting to aid stopping the Z fighting that can happen when just using the GL offset mechanism, and in fact VP did use local render bins for this under the hood, so not as old as you might think ;) , so a lot of VP/Creator users still use this a lot

In practice, most FLT files I've seen that use relative priority are designed for rendering on old display systems that lack depth buffers. OSG relative priority alone is not sufficient to support "painter's algorithm" rendering.
