I use it, for example, for Gitea storage. My host doesn't have a lot of storage, but I use reclone so that it all goes directly onto Google Drive (unlimited paid storage).
Gitea also has a private docker container registry built in, which quickly grows large into several (hundred) gigabytes. It all works perfectly well with rclone.
This makes my host stateless. Just run gitea docker image with Google-Drive backed storage. It works great because both git repositories and docker images are backed by files that are essentially immutable.
An example that would not work well would be trying to run a container whose storage is a SQLite file that updates often. Trying to sync that SQLite file to google drive with rclone would be a bad idea.
