I think the biggest advantage is that you can run any old static webserver rather than one specific to TiddlyWiki. This enables things like more easily handling multiple wikis (just stick them all in a common directory and serve that directory, no config necessary). On Linux, no extra software has to be installed, just download the wiki file and python is already installed which has a webserver.
The plugin doesn't require a webserver to work though, you just have to pick the file in the filesaver once per reload. Personally, I don't refresh my wiki page very often so for me this is probably once every couple hours at most unless I'm installing new JS plugins or something. Once Chromium fixes their SOP policy for file://, these can be safely stored in IndexedDB and have parity with running it from a webserver. Another possibility is if FireFox implements the File System Access API since they have a more restrictive origin policy for file:// domains.
