My favorite use of this that I've spotted in the wild is https://nightride.fm (not affiliated, just a fan!). It's a Synthwave music site + community.

In particular, I noticed that EventSource goodies are used to broadcast currently playing songs on each station, as well as to provide anon read access to their IRC server via a simple vanilla javascript webapp.

WAY cleaner and easier than web sockets for this use case, and CDN friendly to boot!
