Very low from my point of view. It's functionality built into the 
browser already, so provided a site's CSS is made correctly, these 
in-page controls would be redundant.

There is an argument that users simply don't know that they can resize 
text/content using the browser controls - but this is more of a user 
education issue that should not have to be the responsibility of content 
authors. (same for in-page/custom controls to switch to high contrast 
mode or similar)
