My biggest worry is that Apple is going to use this as an excuse to eliminate personal ringtones altogether, forcing us to use the store to get new ringtones.
Those are not my use cases, but I understand your concerns. I have not synced anything using iTunes for a few years now.

Mine would be opening ePub or PDFs or .mobi or .docx files from external storage, which I assume would work the same as opening from cloud folder via sharing. So this is a plus for doing that.

What seems to be going away is ability to get content to 3rd party apps via iTunes. Unless that is supported by Finder somehow in Catalina: that would be ideal.
