Fibers are primarily when you have a problem which is easily expressible as thread-per-unit-of-work, but you want N > large. They can be useful for eg a job system as well, and in that case the primary advantage is the extremely low context switch time, as well as the manual yielding

There are lots of problems where I wouldn't recommend fibers though
