Rad alt is required on most aircraft to report 1500ft and loc cap before G/S cap. on a coupled approach.

Also terrain avoidance, I can think of many times I have decended through terrain at high altitudes (baro) but were within close enough proximity to the terrain to necessitate it's use above 10k at or possibly faster than 250 kts.
