Can I use joule/hour for high power values like kilocalorie (IT)/second?

Because of the large difference in scale, joule/hour is better suited for very low power or slow processes rather than high power rates.

Where is this conversion commonly applied?

It is used in engineering, biomedical research, calorimetry, thermal analysis, and evaluating small electronic device power consumption.
