I don't expect much day-to-day code to have as complicated a condition, no.

Logical conditions would be useful in real code for stuff like `if(media(something) or var(--force))`. I expect them to be relatively common uses of if().

I expect they'd get the most use in css frameworks that define a lot of stuff with custom properties that act as knobs.

At some point, I'd hope that we could define reusable custom calc functions directly in css and I imagine libraries of such functions could involve somewhat complicated conditionals. Cf. my comment: https://github.com/w3c/css-houdini-drafts/issues/857#issuecomment-579084136
