I keep seeing sort as the primary example: how often are people sorting
multi-gigabyte files?  I've been running with either a separate
partition for /tmp (1G-2G) or tmpfs for /tmp on servers and desktops for
many years now (10+).  I have never had sort fail.  The only time I
think I have had a problem was with some DVD-creator software some time
back that copied the video files to /tmp (dumb #1) and then tried to
create the ISO in /tmp and copy it out (dumb #2).

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
