According to godot docs:
Rect2consists of a position, a size, and several utility functions. It is typically used for fast overlap tests.
If it’s used for fast overlap tests, when should i use it over something like an area2d or a physics server intersect_shape call?

It is for simpler uses than collision testing. For example check if player is within screen rectangle. Check if enemy is within a square of distance from player. Check if unit is within borders of rectangle drawn by dragging mouse.
Oh so it’s for simple overlap testing.
One last thing is, if I had a large amount of square shapes that I wanted to detect overlapping for, would you recommend using PhysicsServer or Rect2?

I would use collision shapes, geometry or physics querries. Rect2 is only good for detecting single overlapping points with its has() method.
