What if it’s uncompressed footage at 60fps? And dealing with many shots. And on top of that maybe working with multiple projects in parallel.

Normal 4K editing workflows are fine with even 2.5 Gbps wired networking (wired to make latency like when scrubbing not-horrid)... 10 Gbps more necessary if editing ProRes RAW and doing multicam (4-8 streams simultaneously).
I'm in a never-ending pursuit of cutting time when transferring large files though — AI models is one thing, but I have 100-200 GB projects I transfer across for backup or import (using an external TB5 drive capable of 3-5 GB/sec), and if I can do that in 1 or 2 minutes per project instead of 3 or 4, that's a noticeable speedup.
Definitely overkill for 98% of my workflow though. 10 Gbps is fine.
