Servitors don’t help a whole lot with survivability.
The are T3, 4+ guys. If there is more then one left in the squad, that makes the average toughness go down. So while you can use them as ablative meatshields, you end up having to make more saves.
Putting him on a bike will give him a 5 toughness, and the option for a jink save. As techmarines don’t normally get an invuln, this can be a big deal.
The bike will also let him keep the range open for a c-beamer, or get to wounded tanks to fix.
I’m not going to say the servitors are
completely useless, but they are one of the few units in the codex I actually try to steer people away from.
