Obviously, different environments have different requirements. But I use keychain on my servers. They have months, sometimes years of uptime. If one reboots, I find it acceptable that a human needs to enter a password to allow the box to access the other machines again. I can see scenarios where an unprotected key may make sense but it all depends on the environment.
