I will disagree with you only slightly, with anecdotal evidence.

IME nothing even comes close to superglue for ceramics (coffee mug handle etc) and similar materials - I've fixed some clean breaks that were effectively invisible afterward with superglue. I think I've been reasonably happy with repairs to some other things as well, but the only one I'll really fight you on is the ceramics.

I have a similar "it was great for this" story with Gorilla Glue. We bought cheap "solid wood" furniture (dining room chairs) that we needed to assemble ourselves about 20 years ago. Surprisingly nice for that sort of thing, but the fasteners holding the legs in place constantly loosened up every few weeks. There's probably a good loctite for that, but I had Gorilla Glue. Small amount, spritz of water in each hole before re-assembly. We still have those chairs, they get used daily, and I've never had to tighten a leg again.
