This could be in any of purpose, current wording, ineffectuality or just being a completely bad idea. Or anything else that makes it just awful.
A7 and G11 continue to chap my behind. They go against what we'd normally use for a CSD, and the high number of poor uses (yes, I know it generally works the way it's allegedly supposed to, but too many other things get caught in the crossfire) make it more of a pain than anything else. And that's not even getting into the WP:BITE considerations.
WP:IAR should really be historical at this point. Did it have use back in the day? Maybe so, but we have enough admins and useful policies and guidelines at this point where there really isn't ever a need to do so anymore, and is really just trotted out by people who know better these days.
I don't think the off-wiki personal attack addition was a bad one in retrospect, but it would sure be nice to see some consistent application of it.
