How about space propulsion? Maybe I'm naive, but inertial confinement fusion seems like a great candidate for a space engine.
The hohlraum is the biggest problem here: the level of precision needed to achieve the exact geometry inside the pellet to actually ignite a plasma means that every hohlraum is (a) extraordinarily expensive (currently in the millions of dollars range), and (b) entirely useless after a single shot - while continuous operation for a 1500 MW plant is estimated to require ~20 hohlraums/second).
For a spaceship design, this would mean that your engine would have to include a smelter and high-precision machining bay to constantly create new micrometer-smooth hohlraums from spent ones. Not even close to a promising technology.
