Okay so I was trying to think of places where push spindash storage (youtube.com/watch?v=44hv9HOm-lU) can be useful... And I actually found a scenario.
In this instance, I want to charge a spindash when I land from the slingshot vine. Because of the layout of the collision, and my destination after the spindash, there are only two factors I need to consider:
1. How early I land (how early I begin charging Spindash)
2. How much speed I have on the frame the spindash beings charging
Where or how I land after the vine doesn't matter because I have way more than enough time to reach the corner of the platform no matter how I do it.
Because of this, I can use push storage plus a homing attack to land on the railing. The homing attack gives me a lot of burst speed, so I will have a higher speed when the spindash begins charging, and therefore, I will not have to charge it as long.
In this specific scenario, I actually can't cross the gap here with spindash hover unless I am standing on the railing. So it all works out very well.
But... this strat is unfortunately slightly slower than an alternative strat that clips inside the wall.
