I hope they are able to release a preview of Flutter on desktop early next year. C-interop for Dart sounds great and might be able to compensate the somewhat lacking native Dart ecosystem.
What might be the concrete use cases of C integration? ML?
I'd rather have integrated support for Wifi access (and Bluetooth), for Arduino-style Iot. Things never quite work as intended (even within an Android version).
As one concrete use case, you could use Dart FFI to call Win32 APIs that implement Flutter plugins that support Windows. You should have network access via wifi w/o any trouble today but we do have work to do to support Bluetooth better.
