Is there really any reason to use anything other than Opus, unless you are locked in by legacy devices that only support a limited set of formats, or your connection has extremely restricted bandwidth? That goes for both music and speech content.

It's not as bad as to make it "no sense to use". Especially with speech, one rarely needs to have track boundaries right in the middle of a phrase. Even with music, the glitch on track transition is not always noticeable.
