In my case, for my fullstack framework, I used vite on the server to add my own vite plugin, which can cut client-only code from server code. But it was really needed only when I use my framework with Vite. For example, if we use it with a clean bun setup, then I can do it with bun runtime plugins, which also allow me to modify code on the fly and do it really faster than vite. So I want to say that in server js code we may use vite to modify code during the dev/build process, and I have no idea what else we can use vite for in server/cli code
