Pulling out a lob wedge and hitting a chip or pitch shot that one bounces and stops next to the pin is a skill we see frequently while watching some of the world's best on television. While I see this shot executed now and again in person from some of the more skilled golfers at my local club, I see far more horror shows from amateur golfers with this club.
The debate on how many clubs you should be able to carry is one frequently discussed among the Golf Monthly team and you could certainly make a case that an extremely high lofted wedge (58° or greater) is an unnecessary addition that could actually be putting some golfers at a disadvantage.
