There are definitaly use cases as concluded.
I still have not clear what a good and secure solution might be though. 
I know there is an apache module in the making that will support the 
handling of apache as the user but that still is not an option (for 
now).

My best bet now sould be using suPhp. Anyone ran into troubles using that?
