In my point of view, the job that use-package does is only useful when
the corresponding package is poorly setup to start with.
IOW, if use-package is helpful, usually it indicates a shortcoming in
the package or in the way the package is installed.

That's right. But that's already the case without doing any config at
all (because org-mode is setup properly to start with), so you shouldn't
need use-package for that.
I see use-package as having 2 benefits:
- work around package shortcomings as described above.
- help the user structure his .emacs configuration.
I'd like to see those two parts separated, FWIW.
