It is great as a low cost ilo/drac/choose your oob port, or if most of your traffic is north/south.  Biggest thing to remember is that it is not a switch, and has limitations such as not connecting other switches to it.

And remember -- The Nexus 2K performs absolutely ZERO local switching -- all
frames received from client ports are just copied to the upstream device, so
it can handle the frame/packet forwarding logic.
