Personally, so far I've used it when I want to install something that's not in the Debian/Fedora repository (which half the time just means dev tools and dependencies). I recently reduced my need there considerably with Flatpak user-level installation, but not entirely.

Is there a better way to achieve the same? bind-dirs for normal OS packages seems complicated and sort of defeats the purpose of the security benefit you just described. Perhaps I ought to clone Debian 10 Template, install what I want, and then make an AppVM based on that?

That's reasonable and I think its what Qubes users do in most situations.
