Servers; of course, but not longer than periods between (security)
updates.
How often do you install security updates that *require* a reboot (i.e.
those that patch the kernel)?

When they are available. That if you are replying to the servers uptime.
If you are replying about uptime in general. Who cares what your uptime
is. It is as relevant to technical issues as the colour of a racing car.

i know of a company who had an uptime of a webserver of 3 years, because
they forgot it existed. I also know of a company who reboot each and
every server every month, so they know it will go up again in case of
emergency.

Uptime is nothing more then saying "mine is larger then yours".
