Is it useful? Is it used?
It's an unlisted SpecialPage, so isn't casuably browsed by users.

What kind of a(n) (no-JS-friendly) alternative do you propose?
Also, AFAIK QuestyCaptcha isn't the only thing "using" Special:Captcha; rather, just about every CAPTCHA type's main message has a "more info" link which links to Special:Captcha. If we were to get rid of it, said i18n messages need updating. (Somewhat relatedly, I have a few things which integrate with ConfirmEdit to some extent, namely LinkFilter and the brand new SpecialPageCaptcha extension; they, too, need i18n updates if Special:Captcha is to be phased out.)

Slightly interesting it's not linked from Special:CreateAccount...

Can we move the contents to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:ConfirmEdit instead?

Special:Captcha/image appears to be used to be used to render all FancyCaptcha images. Therefore, we would need to keep that path.
