I would and for the most part have used private trackers for either a specific type of thing or a specific kinda obscure or not very popular title. I find that the more not well known a thing is, the more likely it's going to be found and (re)seeded on a private tracker.
Exactly my experience. I'm in a private tracker for books and audiobooks that sometimes has content that's not on other sites (audiobooks, in particular).
I also just joined a different private tracker that specializes in pre-organized .img files pre-loaded for emulation setups. Like, a one-file 1TB image ready to roll with everything preconfigured.
For popular TV/film, private trackers are unnecessary, unless maybe you're very particular about 4K/8K REMUX quality or something more specific.
