Unless you regard philosophy purely as entertainment or at best a tool for political rhetorical power play the only real utilitarian use of any model is as a contextual working hypothesis of extrinsic and intrinsic realities.

A model's value lies solely in the extent to which it succeeds in effectively describing it and in its consecutive ability to help us predict and manage outcomes. (Chomsky's revolutionary understanding of linguistics as an inherent biological mechanism was such an important breakthrough)

How these two, the extrinsic and intrinsic realities, meet is the interesting topic of Erik Hoel's new publication: The World Behind the World: Consciousness, Free Will, and the Limits of Science. https://www.amazon.com/World-Behind-Consciousness-Limits-Science/dp/1982159383
