We think Service Workers are a great asset! We offer a service worker in our tool as well, particularly to use for network-based optimizations. We're an image optimization tool, and they help improve a website's performance and are particularly useful when leveraged for such a use case.
Internet speeds are never constant, and they vary from region to region. It makes sense to use a service worker to maneuver these instances.
I get by mostly with caching headers.
I’ve yet to be in a situation where I need/can-afford the offline or slow/bad connection handling. :|

My Personal website is using a service worker : veerajongit.github.io/
Some of my personal Angular App and Laravel app I am implementing service worker.
My company's website is using it at epower.ng and also as a Web Design and Development agency, we use it for most of our clients websites e.g palacioevents.com etc.
Browsers, I guess.

My company uses it intensively. For pretty much every new project (we make online shops). You can checkout it here: demo.scandipwa.com/
I have added basic , I mean basic , service workers to many projects and my personal website.
Basically the only thing I use them for is showing an offline page
My personal website is using a service worker: codeadrian.github.io/ It made the website load pages super-fast after the first load. It's amazing!
Also, my company's website is using one: prototyp.digital/
Your personal website looks awesome!
hey man, maybe it's just me but the background color for your company's website is annoying
To be fair, their hiring page says they're hiring like three designers 😅

I made a tool that uses Service Workers to generate PR previews for a specification writing tool, without using an actual server
