I don't see why a writer wouldn't use any of those words, if he or she felt they were right for the text. That's not to say I'm going to use them, or that I like them, but that wasn't the question.
Interesting that the words only gain an entry if a continued historical use is shown. I wonder what time scale they use for that?
I think all words have valid places in their own context, but unless I was actually writing a story set in today's times (which would probably never happen, but let's never say "never") I don't think I'd use them. I might use hangry, but that's because it's a funny word.
When I first read the list I thought "bants" meant some sort of clothing, like pants. Or pants said by someone with a really bad head cold, or even sports wear, like badminton pants, bants.
I have no need for any of these words. I don't mind seeing them used and I'm glad to see the definitions. Some I've heard but most are new to me. The glory of the English language is that it is open to growing and creating new words and phrases. But I certainly doubt these have been around long enough to actually enter the writer's lexicon.
I would be very careful of using them. If it is in time context perhaps as it helps lock in the time setting. However, I think over time they lose their meaning. This makes it difficult for future readers to grasp the meaning. Sort of like trying to read Chaucer in the original Middle English.
May your parchment be smooth, your ink never blot, and your writing never block.
I can not imagine using new words like these, except as dialogue for a character that it would be appropriate for.
You can't get there from here, because when you get there you're still here and here is now there. The only possible reason I can see is to provide a potential Rosetta stone for future readers to be able to understand the context and intent. I totally concur withe Rolandlytle.

Don't like any of these words. But I'm totally in favour of inventiveness and doing things that don't follow the traditional rules. Writers should make up their own words whenever they can, which won't, by definition, be in any dictionary. Did Brian Wilson make up "excitations"? Not sure. But it's not a word I've heard much outside Good Vibrations. Credit to him if he did.
Why on earth should your first story not be the Naked Lunch? That is exactly what it should be! If you're up to writing it, of course.
