I'm not familiar with Confluence but it's highly doubtful that you would
need any X server on your server, assuming you're going to access any X
based applications running on that server remotely.  Remember, the X server
manages the *local hardware* (the computer you are sitting in front of)
while an X client can be anywhere.

I don't know what X clients you plan to run (Confluence appears to be a web
application), but if it's for some sort of X based administration utility,
then no.  You'd run that utility on the sever and export its display back
to your workstation.
