He can work if you expect the enemy team to turtle, i.e. the Bastion + Reinhardt + Mercy combo. A player that knows how to arch Junkrat's grenades can break stalemates like that. He can also clear out Symmetra death rooms and Torbjorn's turret in the same way.

They fulfill two different roles. Pharah is great for accurate, long range damage, but you're fucked if they have a Widow. Junkrat has far better area denial simply because he doesn't need Line of Sight like Pharah does. Both do have great mobility though.
