SOA serial numbers are definitely useful for the apex SOA/IN queries that are prerequisites to zone transfers. However, they're also really useful information for any dynamic zone that you're trying to troubleshoot. Successive queries are not necessarily going to return matching information. By analogy, you can send a query to a nameserver and get a troublesome response, and debug with a HOSTNAME.BIND/CH/TXT query to see what server it was. But for a nameserver provisioned with anycast or as part of a cluster, those data points are not necessarily going to match, which is why NSID is good.
