So, what about creating a dedicated appstream-data-server package that
carries only those components that we want to see on a Server?

Initially, it would contain only components of type "addon" that extend
"cockpit.desktop", and components of type "service".

Please don't do this.

What should I be doing instead? Nothing? :-)

Implement your AppStream filter at the application level, rather than
messing with appstream-data package. That makes it more portable and
won't do dumb things. We already ship the appstream-data package in
the Workstation Edition and on all the spins, so just add it to the
Server Edition if it isn't already there.
$ rpm -qi appstream-data|egrep '(Name|Version|Release|Size)'
Name        : appstream-data
Version     : 26
Release     : 14.fc26
Size        : 15631111

This is what Marius is talking about -- there is little insentive to
install 15MiB of data largely unused on Fedora Server if all you'd need
is a ~1KiB.

Filtering this information on the application side is OK if it would
have been not so useless in the Server installs.
