That would depend on how "local" a "local exploit" is. If they require physical access to your system, well, then that's one thing. But if "local" is to mean on the network, that's far simpler for an attacker to pull off.

You would only not care if your servers have zero access to the internet and are air-gaped from the rest of your network (even then it's been proven some vulnerabilities can be exploited to gain access).

"local" is generally understood to mean "not the network".
