The cvar itself doesn't prevent players from joining. It only tells the
client how many server slots it should see. While the game client
serverbrowser respects this cvar, third party server browsers may not.

No, it is very useful. As you said, it helps a plugin implement reserved
slots and such by hiding the reserved slots. But the plugin will still
have to implement the slot reservation itself. The cvar does only do the
hiding, or rather, suggests it to the server browser.
