Swings and tilts are probably (depending on composition) not very
useful in interior shots.  In a shot where one of the subject planes
is horizontal (e.g., a shot down the length of a dining room where you
want both the place setting in the foreground and the far wall in
focus) could use some front tilt.  Most interior shots with lots of
vertical planes (various walls and doorways) at different depths in
the scene would not be helped by swings and tilts.

Rise and shift however could be very useful.  For example, keeping the
camera's reflection out of a shot of a mirror, or eliminating
unnecessary foreground (with front rise).

Most lenses won't have trouble with swings and tilts.  Where you run
into limits are with rise and shift.
