Serverless git repos would be useful if you wanted to make a product like real-time collaboration + offline support code editing in the browser.

You can still sync to a platform like GitHub or BitBucket after all users close their tabs.

A long time ago, I looked into using isomorphic-git with lightning-fs to build light note-taking app in the browser: pull your markdown files in, edit them in a rich-text-editor a la Notion, stage and then commit changes back using git.

That’s essentially what github.dev and vscode.dev do FWIW.
