Every time I start up playing on a CC server, it dies in no time at all. There are no good CC servers around, because they all die shortly after they get popular.

Sometimes, when a server shuts down, it was because of circumstances out of their control. Trust me, I know.
That being said, an answer to your title would be no. Everything on a CC server is NOT pointless. I have started and developed a lot of programs on servers like OSRunner and StarDial+. The dream goal for a creative ComputerCraft server, in my opinion, is to provide a coding environment to collaborate in without many distractions or much frustration. Too many perverts and immature people ruin the fun.
While everything on CC servers are definitely not pointless, servers DO shut down eventually, as they are neither perfect or everlasting.

Unfortunately it seems by the time I build even a relatively simple building and get everything set up how I want, the server is already on its way out. GAPS was probably the longest running and best by far, but eventually even that died off.
I could host one myself but I don't think I have the work ethic to properly maintain one, even though I have plenty of time. Nor would I feel confident enough in my ability to provide secure remote administrative access to let anybody else help me, since I failed to get FTP working through my router.

Mack had to re-install windows. After that he lost everything.

Is that really the point of this point, your just 10 miles away from the point of the topic. Oh, and you are crawling those miles, just so you know how long it takes to get back here.

What about a non-CC specific server, for example Tekkit (latest) or FTB? Maybe you could even sell your programs to other people for gold, etc.

They have for ages, unless its changed suddenly you may want to double check. Make sure you're not using Tekkit classic because thats still using 1.3 for some bizarre reason.

Ah, right, I just thought it wasn't in because every server disabled it. Are there good servers that allow CC now?

Tekkit for sure has CC. I'm using Tekkit.
Tekkit Classic is an old outdated modpack with older mods that are no longer being updated, hence the old versions. The new Tekkit is the current modpack and is kept as current as possible.
