Analogous “altruism cascade” arguments could be made for interventions like bed nets & GiveDirectly, though my intuition is that the cascade would be stronger for mental health interventions as they more directly attack unhappiness. (Related GiveWell discussion on flow-through effects here.)
I don’t see analogous cascades coming out of x-risk prevention or fundamental philosophical research.
