A lot depends on how much you do on the server. If you're serving a web
interface that runs things like `rev-list`, or `for-each-ref
--contains`, etc, then you should see a big improvement.

If you're _just_ serving fetches with `upload-pack`, you might see some
small improvement during fetch negotiation. But I suspect it would be
dwarfed by the cost of actually generating packs. Likewise, the
traversal there will be dominated by accessing trees (and if that is
expensive, then you ought to be using reachability bitmaps).

But I agree that there's no reason _not_ to use them.
