I would say it has it's place in situations when something is partly in
shadows, or when you're trying to simulate "glooming" ... a very bright
outdoor scene maybe not.

Yes. :-)
Outdoor scenes could probably go with very low settings, even as low as
"half a bounce" [*], but even then it does make a difference.
[* by this I mean that a lot of computations could be left out even from
single-bounce radiosity, to produce an effect akin to ambient occlusion;
unfortunately that's a quality setting not available in POV-Ray at present.]
IMO (no H there ;-)) radiosity is an absolute /must/ for any indoor
scene trying for a realistic look.
