I have C code in production that I used for ASN.1 serialise/deserialise
operations.  Also, for socket operations.  Both of these are wrappered
so that ILE RPG programs can call the functions.

Today I'm not sure I'd recommend using C for sockets; there are plenty
of RPG examples these days (thanks Scott!)  But there are some
programming chores which C works well for, AND for which one can find
examples on the web.

Generally speaking, I do all my IBM i database work in RPG.  I'd use C
for tool / interface type work.  At home I use C to program PIC
microprocessors; another chore that uses no database.  ish.
