What type of projects is Racket best suited for?
There is a new addition to the racket family; ‘Zuo: A Tiny Racket for Scripting’ that is also suitable embedding in another application.

Zuo: A Tiny Racket for Scripting
https://github.com/racket/zuo/blob/main/local/tree.zuo is a pretty good example.
It’s nothing like Bash; it’s a Lisp dialect.
The obvious comparison is Lua, which is generally the standard embedded language people use when a scripting language needs to be tiny. I compared its size; Zuo is 55% the size of Lua, so apples to apples, Zua is only a little over half the size of Lua. On the other hand, Lua uses a Pascal like syntax which is a good deal more Bash like than Zuo.
