My server is set up for the launcher and I know at least a handful of players use it, but it doesn't always have the most up to date files.
I've made the feature request before, but I'll re-iterate it: Let us point to externally hosted files. At that point maintenance would be effortless after the initial setup.
As for doing everything server side, we're already limited quite a bit by the client and certain effects have to be shared in order for things to sync and display properly. It can be daunting for someone to manage all the files they might need, but that's really why the launcher is such a good idea.
I've never personally been bothered by having to manage my own files but if we can make the process easier, why not?
