Back in the day my 28.8k modem came bundled with a book on HTML, which is how I learned to make my first personal web site. Even back then, the book recommended testing your web site in Lynx for two reasons: 1. Web sites are supposed to gracefully degrade when viewed in browsers without support for advanced features. 2. Accessibility matters, and while most of us don't have access to or know how to operate screen readers if we can comfortably view and navigate a web site in Lynx there's a pretty decent chance that it'll be usable with a screen reader. It's been ~30 years since then and those reasons still apply just as well. For the vast majority of web sites which do not have any need to be interactive webapps there's not really any good reason for it not to be perfectly usable in a text-only browser, and if it's both readable and navigable in a text browser it should also be with a screen reader.
