I'm curious if there are things in the standard class library that you find useful but not widely used.

Those sound useful. I haven't had to do much cross-thread synchronization thankfully, but I have had to use a BlockingDeque to check that some events came and in the right order. The CountDownLatch and Phaser may have been better.
