Although is there a practical purpose for this? Only case I can think of where you would intentionally subject humans to more than a few G is in fighter jets. But couldn't we replace those with drones that can make 50 G turns?

Yes, but drones can be jammed or taken over by an adversary. In some cases, and depending on the payload, you'd still want someone in the actual delivery vehicle who can control and deploy their payload without a remote connection being required.
