You don't think Figma is a serious application?

By all means, use OT. I worked on OT software for many years - and my work on OT types, ShareJS and ShareDB is still in production all over the place. But I don't think there's anything you can do with OT that you can't do just as well with CRDTs.

The only real benefit of OT is that its simpler to reason about. Maybe that's enough.
