Bundle of bamboo stakes could be used to make charcoal and in pit kilns instead of firewood.

Bamboo charcoal is absolutely a real thing and I don't see why stacking sufficient amounts of bamboo in a charcoal pit wouldn't work just as well as firewood does.

That would be useful in emergency situations.

theoretically stacked sticks should work to get charcoal too, though it might give less than neatly stacked firewood.

I'd like to see bamboo also be useable for other things as well, like traps and etc. I feel like it's been ignored quite a bit in overall usage, and I'd like to see it have more. This would also make a nice starting point to that.

I agree with all statements here

Come to think of it, you could also use the bamboo to make a pitfall trap into bamboo stakes to passively protect your farms early on in the game.

An easy workaround (albeit factually incorrect) is adding a "Bamboo sticks to firewood" crafting recipe, similar to https://mods.vintagestory.at/sticksarefirewood .
