I guess server rendering means that you can upgrade the software
without touching the clients, so that you have a network protocol that
transfers the graphics to a simple and cheap client-display. Like, for
floor information in a building.
Even much simpler use-cases make sense, example: Render 3D previews of
100.000 CAD models and keep them up to date when things change. You need
some CLI tool to render it, but most likely you don't have OpenGL or a
GPU on the server.
Be careful with that assumption. Server motherboards made by Intel come
with GPU's as standard.
