hotplug, afaik, refers to not only the practice of swapping SCSI drives on the fly in busy servers but as well as anything USB related, mounting of drives, and the like.
Assuming you won't need to plug in a USB drive all of the sudden  and you keep a spotless fstab and have a sole eth connection, hotplug might in fact be somewhat useless to you.
I switched to udev ages ago however; find out if it's really ncessary.
In the end of the day however, it's not like it's a very heavy process for your machine.

Should I emerge hotplug and coldplug on my hosted server when
upgrading to udev?  I don't think there are any attached devices.
However, the docs do say:

hotplug also handles the automated bringup of network devices and
firmware downloading.
