The main problem with http2 push and why it’s pointless is that it’s not cache aware.

So you’re pushing unrequested data to everyone regardless.

h2o tries to solve this problem with a special cookie. More here:

But without something like that it’s a feature that will never really gain traction.

The danger here is that you push too much, but the actual response will still be delivered almost as fast (due to non-blocking behavior in HTTP/2 connections), so sure, it's not optimal, but there are a lot of use cases besides static assets where it is very useful.
