I guess they're less useful for LET and LETREC.  However with LET* and
LETREC*, I sometimes want to intersperse side-effecting expressions
with regular bindings.  Those expressions will often have (especially
with the change we've made to the semantics of BEGIN) zero return
values.

Generally, making <binding lhs> as close as possible to <formals> is
just POLA.
