That's kind of a trick question...

I would suppose it would depend on the rest of your network and scenario.
And your personal opinion! If your network supports it, go for it.

What do you get out of having a broadcast ability where there's only one
possible other side to broadcast to?!?!

Would I go do it all throughout my network? Sure, if I had the time and
felt like doing it. What would I benefit? I'd get 50% more IP addresses to
use on P2P links... What would I lose? My mind? From going around and
reconfiguring everything? :) Perhaps some issues with auto-config (haven't
tried to think much about this beyond this e-mail though!)

Like most things though, it comes down to time and energy... Do you have
it? Can you afford it?

Would I do it on my CCIE lab? Not unless I'm asked to. Don't get creative
on the CCIE lab. Creativity doesn't get you points, but may cause you to
waste valuable time if something doesn't work right.

Is there a situation when a /31 is not desirable for p2p?

As long as you are using an IOS that supports it, things work wonderfully!
