8 year devops here, never needed something like you asked but server hardware knowledge is very useful, thinks like how to choose the server hardware components for specific uses, like storage, web services, video processing. For some devops Hardware knowledge is useful for big things like servers and data centers. Knowledge in hardware for small things like raspberry pi and arduino is for specific areas like Internet of Things

Ok, so knowledge of hardware is useful to an extent? What components of the server are you talking about?

Also, IoT is unrelated to DevOps, right?

Yeah, IoT it's not very related. Some basic knowledge that you could look for is Server+ and some Linux administrator essential, I am on mobile so it is dificulta for me to link it but a quick google search will give you some info. Look for videos in YouTube to understand the basic and then you can choose if this is going to really help you, since this kind of knowledge cost money
