One example (mostly for demonstration purposes) currently is
in etc/compilation.txt. whose Local Variables contains just:
;;; eval: (outline-cycle-highlight-minor-mode)
Initially I implemented this only with variables and without modes
like you suggested:
;;; outline-minor-mode-cycle: t
;;; outline-minor-mode-highlight: t
;;; eval: (outline-minor-mode 1)
But then thought that maybe with a mode would be more concise and convenient.
I'm fine with removing these modes after analyzing more use cases.

Here's is a list of use cases where I tried to use outline-minor-mode
with cycling, and somewhere also with highlighting.
1. (add-hook 'Man-cooked-hook 'outline-cycle-highlight-minor-mode)
where manual page sections could be highlighted with outline faces.
2. (add-hook 'diff-mode-hook 'outline-cycle-minor-mode)
3. (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'outline-cycle-minor-mode)
without outline highlighting to not overwrite major mode faces
4. (advice-add 'xref--insert-xrefs :after
(lambda (&rest _args)
(setq-local outline-regexp "/")
(outline-cycle-minor-mode +1)))
using file names as headings where S-TAB could provide
an overview of all found files
But none of them require to disable cycling. I don't know where
outline-minor-mode without cycling would be needed. Maybe in
external packages that implement own cycling in outline-minor-mode
like in https://debbugs.gnu.org/41198#99
