Until there is a compelling use case for servers to provide additional server error details, I suggest that we put this aside. One good reason to not specify this is to prevent servers from ever exposing security-related information. If it is desirable in the future, the data model used for the client error details could also be used for server-specific errors.

Edit: The security considerations from RFC 7807 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7807#section-5 is applicable here.
