I imagine most of you, like me, don't. Just another datapoint.

But, I recently got a new jig for my table saw, and I saw this paper one. Is there any reason to register other than the warranty? Should I fill these out for my larger, more expensive tools?

Depends on what it is and what it offers. If the product is something unlikely to experience failure that would be covered(like a standard, basic Weber grill), then no. If it is and there are no additional offerings for registering, then no. I keep photo copies of my receipts so there is never a question about purchase dates or warranty expiration. If there are additional offerings, I weigh the need for them and if they are good enough then yes, I will.

I’ll add to this that I always buy the insurance anytime it’s offered. I accidentally bought it with a TV about a decade ago and two days after the warranty expired I was moving and dropped the TV(barely. It was about an inch from the floor an shouldn’t have had a failure from the drop). It would give audio but no video. I told them that and they still replaced it, free of charge, with a much better model. My electric shaver just died two and a half years after I bought it and used it every day: replaced for free with a better model. The insurances have paid for themselves at this point.
