We require LLDP/LLDP-MED to configure our VOIP phones. For trunk links, it is extremely helpful to verify correct topology. For datacenters, it is EXTREMELY helpful to verify hypervisor connectivity.
I'd say it's extremely helpful anywhere. We enable it on every single port unless there is a specific reason to disable it. Our particularly clueful customers can now submit requests like: "For the system attached to port 1/2/3, please switch to VLAN 456." This ticket gets closed in about 10 seconds. We also run LLDP speakers on our University-controlled workstations so we can see details about the system in "slow lldp neighbor" on the switch. The more LLDP the better, from my perspective.
