This, not unlike Elm, looks pristine, ivory-tower-ish to me. The examples are always neatly self-contained or consuming a real simple json API. They're fiddles. Fiddles always look neat.
I think it would do these types of projects a lot of good to do something real using third party libraries. Convince developers and companies they're real, not toys. I still haven't seen a blog post explaining Elm along with a masonry library, socket.io, bootstrap, shopify, etc.
Probably I'm not getting what's the real use case for these things. It can't be writing web apps.
I don't think Reason is like Elm in this way. Whereas Elm requires you to wholly buy in to the Elm world, Reason can easily be brought into a large existing codebase.
Large chunks of messenger.com are written in Reason. I'm pretty sure that qualifies as a 'web app'.
