KFs, and more generally state observer systems, are widely used in the field of control systems.

I know someone with a PhD in control systems, works for an eVTOL startup, and their title is something like "estimation expert" or "estimation specialist". That is, 100% of their job is designing relatively complex KF-like algorithms that are used to estimate the aircraft state (position, pose, velocity, wind conditions, etc) in real time based on a bunch of sensors.
