I didn't "need" xfs with 3.3.6 (or earlier) either, but I always
wondered if I wasn't missing something by not having it.

Is the font server a relic from the days of small, expensive disks, so
you only need to store the fonts in one place on your network?  Or does
it do something else that would be useful?

I've never found a clear explanation of *how* to use it, let alone a
hint of *why* or why not to use it.
