When I asked last year Greg Hudson replied that some packagers use it:

http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2005-07/1344.shtml

and we have had a small number of bug reports from users that were a
result of --enable-dso, although that could be a reason to disable it.

Given that Subversion with --disable-dso still tries to load DSOs I
tend to agree.
