A little more on the "it depends"
switches connected to end-user/customer gear: never ever.
switch to switch, switch to router interfaces: yes, to validate cabling
and resolve problems as quickly as possible.
switch to server interfaces: only to servers of teams you can trust.
temporarily enable to untrusted teams if you'd need to order remote
hands to lookup the exact cabling in case of problems.

The problem with your survey is that there’s no option to answer “it depends”.
Hard yes or no answers aren’t realistic to the questions you’re asking because
the context,
security parameters, sensitivity, and other parameters about the network all
factor into a
decision whether to run or not run such protocols.
There are some environments where the benefit and convenience is moderately high
and the risk is extremely low. There are other environments where the benefit
is relatively
low, but the risks are significantly higher.

Hello,
having a bit of a debate in my team about turning on LLDP and/or CDP.
I would appreciate if you could spend a minute answering this
survey so I have some numbers to back up my reasoning, or to accept
defeat.

Feel free to cross-post to other relevant lists.
Thank you
