Being able to read and translate Egyptian hieroglyphs. You may think this is silly but a trained LLM to translate hieroglyphs would be amazing.

What issues do you see in practice? This seems pretty easily "fixable"

Why would it be amazing? We've known how to read hieroglyphs for a long time. It isn't a problem we need computers to solve.
