It's nice for recording sessions when connecting to other systems via serial or ipmi sol.

Sometimes it's nice to be able to go back and see recordings of boot logs, where timing is useful, and navigating bios screens or other similar user interfaces.

If it needs documenting it's nice to record it as you're doing it, and writing the documentation as you're rewatching the recording so you can copy paste the important moments.

It's not so nice to rely on only a recording as documentation.
