Besides a select few doing a small thing like cupbearer gaining a plot % (I think) increase and Caesar (or something) effectively making your kids born in the purple even if they weren't, none beyond roleplaying. Physician is obviously going to be a big exception.

Designated Regent and Commander are very useful. Court Jester and Cupbearer have minor event chains, as do some of the muslim minor titles (court poet/musician/architect/calligrapher, chief qadi.)

The minor title salaries also aren't subtracted from your income (if I recall correctly), so apart from the event chains and cupbearer increased plot chance vs. you, you can always toss them out to some dudes to give them a trickle of income/prestige (especially your heir), even if it's rather negligible.

Apart from that there's of course, as others mentioned, the roleplaying value.

While on the topic what malus, if any, is there from taking away minor titles from someone?

Yeah, the Designated Regent position is critical if you ever actually have a regency. The bad thing is that during an actual regency your chosen regent can be pushed aside for someone else (I don't know exactly how that works; I probably should look into it) or might die/become incapable themselves and have to be replaced, so you don't always have control over who holds the position. And of course good commanders to lead your armies are helpful.

If you're Buddhist, your Court Guru has some events.

I always wondered about that salary. I may just give out some more, just to generate extra money for my heir. Or new majors to help them with developing their city (to give me more taxes)
