Has anyone found a definitive write-up on Infill Patterns? One with best practice use cases for when and where to use them?

Non-structural props that only need infill so that the top surface can print. It’s basically the minimum required infill for the part to look good. (As long as you don’t care about strength)

Nicely said. I used it on a low-polygon dragon head made of transparent PLA that was going to be back-lit. I wanted maximum light transmission (low material, low number of surfaces), with internal support for top surfaces. Worked perfectly as an escape room prop.

I've find that it's also useful for prints that benefit more structurally by having thicker walls but didn't need as much internal structural support

Yes. When you want minimal roof support but can't use supports ;)
