I very rarely will build a lighthouse before a granary. You can catch up in pop relatively easily, and the first few tiles should come from land tiles (except seafood, of course) anyway.
Workboats: well, I admit there are more then a few situations where it is not practical to build a workboat in an older city, and sail him over. In most cases, you will get the benefit faster though: you can build a workboat whenever you like, so also 10 turns before your settler completes. Having a workboat ready when the city is settled is the equivalent of a worker roading, and jungle clearing before the settler arrives. Very powerful indeed, but sadly not always possible because of other things to build.
