Disclosure: I was a (secondary) coauthor on this work.
Vroom [1] is a research system to accelerate page loads. It identifies dependent resources for your page and uses a combination of client hints and and server push to improve network utilization. I believe that only important, non-cacheable content use server push. See the paper for results.
To be clear, web performance is not my main field and I haven't kept up with the latest happenings. I only bring it up as evidence that push can be useful, but I can't actually say whether it's worth the complexity.
EDIT: fixed some typos.
