I said "space", and I would think that every application in that sector is already in that "extremely-high-level".
Truth be told, I was thinking satellites. Given how CCD sensors behave against space radiation enviroment compared to CMOS ones (even if they're are catching up), not to mention the inertia of the space sector, and plenty of other considerations such as RTS noise, etc. you can still find CCDs here and there, when, like you said, consumers basically don't have access to them since a huge while (especially for power consumption reasons).
CCD is on a heavy decline though. CMOS sensors are all the rage right now in the space segment, way cheaper, less crosstalk, more flexible in their use and actually less noisy now. Although, yeah RTS is a real pain to deal with!
I can't really say it here, I guess it'll be the same for the others in this thread. Not because I've worked on anything really sensitive (I didn't) but space tech companies dislike their employees speaking "in their name" outside of official channels, like in many sectors :)

Nah. I've put $30 camera modules meant for Raspberry Pis on spacecraft. Sometimes you just need something that'll live through launch so you can confirm everything looks good.
