this works for personal devices like laptops, but not for servers

Yes, which is why we have IPMI.

two things here.
not all systems that are deployed as servers have IMPI
trading a system that requires root access to do thing for a system that puts it's console on the network exposted to attackers (especially where that console is 'secured' by vendor proprietary code) doesn't seem like a win to me.

"not all systems that are deployed as servers have IMPI"
Sure, it's totally acceptable to choose no lights out management if you have 24/7 hands-on. The 24/7 hands-on people are physically present and meet that constraint.
The practice of calling a cheap desktop PC in a closet a "server" has plenty of other problems long before you get to remote management.
We have drifted far off topic.

If you don't deploy using IPMI then you clearly have physical access during initial configuration. And if you've left the IPMI network connected to the rest of your network, you're doing it very, very wrong. But since nobody in the server market seems to be talking about shipping with Secure Boot enabled by default, you can do your key installation in any way you want.
