Thanks Volker, for the additional background and explanation.

So far I cannot say how others use the reminder functionality.  And one
difficulty of getting closer to this understand is that many important users
will not run "beta" versions or freshly released ones, but are a few years down
the line until their long term distribution will carry a new version. So
feedback coming now will be skewed by this. My suggestion is to at least have
an idea about what is continued to be supported and why.

Personally my use case is in group (1) but I adjust the reminder according to
the preparation time I need for different types of appointments. Then I
sometimes use the delay of reminding me to get another few concentrated
minutes. Example for meetings I invite people I usually have 15 minutes (which
is a reminder they also get), then I can do preparations, like reading the
protocol and agenda, shuffle my papers, open screens. Once I am say the
reminder I may still have 11 minutes left, so I set the reminder to 9 minutes
to be able to dive into another task. If I do not set the second reminder I may
just dive up after 13 minutes, missing the start of the meeting. If I do not
set the first reminder I maynot be prepared. On an appointment at my home I
need to change and drive there, so I put the reminder to 30 minutes. For an
appointment shortly after lunch, I set the reminder to 1 h, so to see it before
lunch break. (This all are examples, but they all are a story about being
reminded, not about task management as far as I understand it.)
