It's a video game. What has "practical use" in a video game? I guess that's subjective.

Is it practical to over-gear your crafting classes (for the current recipes) in anticipation of more difficult recipes that may come later? You can make stuff to do that.

Is it practical to craft DoL offhands (especially since there are no DoL scrip offhands) to improve yield and HQ chance on Ephemeral and Folklore noads? You can make stuff to do that too.

But if you restrict "practical use" to meaning "gear that's better than tomestone gear for end-game Savage progression," Yoshida-san has made it clear that they aren't going to let people craft gear like that any more, and why. His reasons are not bad reasons.
