Missing are the exact use cases. For Twine (general purpose IoT monitor from way back), we used UDP for the steady monitoring stream, serving the purposes of a dashboard data stream and keeping the connection open, while saving power. Used TCP just for the events we wanted to be sure got received, but with UDP, Twine still got several 9s of packets getting delivered over the internet.
