A few more thoughts on where a VNA may be a better fit than an impedance analyzer.
Some time ago I was attempting to use one of the low cost VNAs to make PDN measurements. Difficult problem and required a decent transformer to break the ground path. I made a demo video showing the end results

Also, the wideband transformer that I used to make these measurements was also home made. One of our members posted S parameters for an off the shelf product that I then used to give me an idea on the length and type of coax used as well as compare it against my own design. This was also measured on my VNA.

I built an X-Y controller that I can use with the VNA to look at radiation patterns in 3-D. For a demonstration, I posted some data off a couple of pork and bean cans I soldered together to form a waveguide.
Along the same lines, we had our friend from France(?) posting about his vitals measurement experiment using the VNA. Like my bean cans, he was bouncing the radio waves off his chest and decoding the data. One of the more interesting experiments I have seen posted about with these low cost VNAs.
Q was already mentioned. I too tried to use the low cost VNA to make some measurements of some ATC jelly bean caps. This took us to how the firmware worked which led us back to the PDN measurements.

It seems I was able to get enough signal to detect audio but it would rank as possibly the worse radio ever.
