In computational complexity there are several conjectures which are stronger than $NP \ne P$ which have important consequences. To mention a few
The conjecture that factoring is computationally hard is the basis to much theoretical and practical cryptography.
More broadly the conjecture that one-way functions exist has many consequences.
The conjecture that the polynomial hierarchy ($PH$) does not collapse has many consequences.
Khot's unique game conjecture has many important consequences for hardness of approximation.
The exponential time hypothesis ($ETH$)and strong exponential time hypothesis ($SETH$) are strong form of $NP \ne P$ with important consequences.
There are stronger and stronger versions of the "derandomization" conjecture with many consequences.
