Whether in-addr.arpa is useful or not depends on where you are in the world and what the connectivity is like. There was a time when I would have recommended slaving the root and in-addr.arpa to every Australian site. When the one link connecting most of Australia went down this sort of think kept a vast majority of the internal communications within Australia working as you could find au and you could do reverse lookups of the Australian address blocks.
