Depends if you want a license you can rely on on both sides with zero ambiguity on what is and isn't enforcable, having a few court cases confirm this is nice.

The lack of court cases has a perfectly reasonable explanation: no serious company with a legal department would bother to touch anything licensed this way. The companies most likely to be able to represent themselves in a court are also the most likely to have a policy of just blanket banning anything with this license.
As a means of alienating end users, the AGPL is an enormous success. As a means of actually enforcing what it says, it's largely unproven.
