The only answer is "no use at all."

Immersion? Again, and empty boat is not immersive, and a boat populated by avatars is only as immersive as the least immersive interaction you have with them.

It's an impossible bar for the devs, IMO.

We deal with real human beings daily. We evolved to read faces, subtle body language, and other indicators of human emotion. As a result, even tiny flaws in such virtual interactions jar us far more than technical stuff since we do this unconsciously every waking moment we are with other RL people.

Keeping the 3d person avatars in a constrained setting of accepting orders, while adding just minor variations in the statements, tone, etc, is a far more successful strategy, IMO.
