I think "totally useless" stretching it.  Two examples.

   [@:1] My sentence on foo [@] and something else

   * Annotations
     [@:1:Nicolas] Remember to refer to bar


     #+TODO: Notes/Nicolas
     My sentence on foo [Notes/Nicolas: Remember to refer to bar] and
     something else.

The latter is less precise, but I would still prefer it.  I guess you
could add references to an endnote for long notes, which would bring it
closer to killing org-inlinetasks.

I don't particularly care for them either.
