A standard User column in Devise is last_sign_in_at, which holds the previous value of current_sign_in_at when current_sign_in_at is updated.
Does last_sign_in_at have any utility for Devise's core functionality or Module functionality, or is it just there as a general convenience?

As we said earlier, if there are several domain controllers in your domain, then the lastlogon value on them may differ. If a user has been inactive for more than 14 days, the easiest way is to get the value of the lastLogonTimeStamp attribute from any domain controller.
Review devices where you’re signed in Go to your Google Account. On the left navigation panel, select Security. On the Your devices panel, select Manage devices. You'll see devices where you’re currently signed in to your Google Account. For more details, select a device.
You can find out the time the user last logged into the domain from the command line using the net or dsquery tools. Open a command prompt (you don’t need domain administrator privileges to get AD user info), and run the command: You got the user’s last logon time: 08.08.2019 11:14:13.
last_sign_in_at is the date and time the user signed in before their current session, which is current_sign_in_at. It will be nil if they haven't signed in or this is their first session.
A better name might have been previous_sign_in_at because it is not the time they signed in last (the current one), it's the time before that.
It might be helpful to illustrate its use: After sign in, if updated_at on your Terms & Conditions page is newer than the user's last_sign_in_at then redirect them to a terms acceptance page.
As with most attributes in the Trackable module, it is not used internally to Devise although it is maintained by it.

Looking through the source code, it seems to just be an attribute of Trackable -- meant purely as a general convenience.

Additionally, the gemfile for Devise does not show anything that (I am guessing) would make use of that field.
So, just general convenience.
