I work in this space: most "cool" ML is useless, and stakeholder are very skeptical of new modelling techniques. It is a long slog of EDA and finding actionable causality. Deep learning, modern reinforcement learning... are not the best fit here.
However I have seen CV and NLP useful here and there... but it is not the bread and butter.
