In small things. Probably not very feasible for hobby projects unless you can get it soldered on when the PCB is built.

BGA, like in the photo, isn't the only option. There are options only slightly larger with hand-solderable packages (if you're good at soldering)

This is already technically hand solderable with the right equipment.
