Remote medical procedures, remote military weapons, remote repair of datellites, etc. will all benefit as well.

I think all of those applications will, or already have, develop independently of something like Facebook metaverse. If anything meta is taking those useful applications and trying to turn it into a household product that nobody needs.

Do any of these applications really require AR / VR though?

Require? No.

Likely to be improved by more spacial awareness? Yes.
