If you're sharing with lots of people registries are great.

If you're deploying to a server, I don't see a point in setting up a registry, regardless of how trivial it is. It seems even more trivial to just send the deployment package to the server.

You say "the" server as if it were a single long-lived host? I haven't had a deployment target like that in almost 20 years. My world is ephemeral and redundant so putting things into a registry where they can be pulled from as needed tends to be the option.
