More along the lines of ice skating.

Not at all to downhill – pressure on the toes is important in downhill for carving turns and NOT what you want on inlines. Pressure on the toes in inline will cause you to trip over small things and not be efficient for your skating overall. The coach for the downhill racing team that a couple of inline friends are on has forbidden them to skate during the racing season because practicing their inline stride (they both are in the fast group on inlines) is detrimental to their skiing.
Very little for skate style cross country or traditional cross country. The skate stride for one is completely bad for the other. A lot more of the heel/toe balance plus the skis require a wide, toes pointed out, stride that is horrible on inlines. The only advantage in common is in core balance (if you skate without flailing your arms to keep balance).
Took XC training classes from a National Ski Patrol, Nordic Patrol instructor that was intended to add Nordic certification for the downhill Ski Patrol locally. I was allowed in the class due to XC volunteering I do for the same park district. We discussed the differences in stride at some length and it became clear that two very different strides were needed to be proficient in each sport.
Ice skating also uses more of the toe out, pressure on toes technique in it’s stride. It is funny (I have seen it) to watch a fast inline skater not being able to move on ice skates because she can’t give up her good push sideways with the heel inline stride to dig in and push back with the toes on ice. If you are less wedded to a really good inline stride, ice skating works much better than the others as a cross over sport but be prepared to change your stride if you want to be good at both.
