No one really needs 30FPS,

No. It depends on what you are shooting. 30 FPS gives you the in-between frames. You may not need it, but just because you don't need it doesn't mean that others might not find it useful.

I think 30 FPS is needed when you want to capture 30 FPS. We have to remember, especially in photography that just because technology is new and people got by with less before, should not mean it is not needed. If that was the case than why need a camera? You can just sketch what you saw. My example might be silly but I back up the need argument. Now does that mean the OP needs 30 FPS to shoot gymnastics? Idk thats for him to decide.

In sports, especially pro high level stuff, I imagine you need as many FPS as you can get. The R3 is a pro camera aimed at pro needs. Its only a luxury to well off enthusiest.

just need to know when to shoot and be fast.

No. Knowing when to shoot with 30 FPS will get you more keepers than knowing when to shoot at 12 FPS.

With 30FPS and above, I could shoot video and take out any image I want

No. Extracting frames from video does not give you the same IQ. Also, there are issues with motion blur when extracting frames from video.

We regularly extract images from video. Shutter speed needs to be selected (or t least benefits) with that in mind.
This enables image selection from 120fps which isn't otherwise possible but we nornally are extracting from 8k ( primary reason to purchase).
So I think it links to what you have said about it's really down to the shooter to understand what they need and also what they may like (which may not be a need).

We very much look forward to being able to try the R3 when it's available in the UK. The EVF eye AF looks really interesting.

Does R3 have heating issues, it heats up during massive use?

No. Not in stills mode.

There are some time limits in video mode that are documented in the manual.
