How useful are the new operations to NI?

[Maroon]

So with the latest Warband patch, a bunch of operations have been added that look quite promising to me, and they made me wonder; can they improve the NI coding in a significant way?
Stuff like "prop_instance_deform_to_time", or "agent_get_bone_position" sound like they could add quite some depth to all kinds of mods, NI included.
For those of you unaware, this is the full list:
