I'm currently using 2 Raspi for receiving and decoding ADSB signals (aircraft positional reports), another one as a cheap and cheerful access for visitors to both email and web browsing, and yet another as am intelligent signal generator for calibrating and testing my DSP circuits. I also use Arduinos for various gadgets that I have made.

I use an earlier version of a similar dongle based on a RTL2832U chip but I have no doubt that the V3 will work equally as well if not better. For software I used both a plain vanilla and modified dump1090 but I have not improved the signal processing (despite trying), simply changed some of the presentation of the data that dump1090 provides. I have written my own display software (Python 3). I provide feeds to FR24 and ADSB-Exchange. Unfortunately, I have hills in the way to the NW of my location so I have relatively poor low-to-medium altitude coverage in that direction but elsewhere I am getting 200-250 nm with indoor antennae. I had planned to mount an outdoor antenna during the last 18 months but real-life events have stopped my work on that project - hopefully only temporarily.

Do you use the RTL-SDR Blog V3?
