Servos do take up one of your PWM ports. You also need to install a jumper to ensure correct voltage.
Pneumatics are not typically controlled via Digital Sidecar (though you can control them with relays). Teams generally use the Solenoid Breakout.
Relays don't physically use the PWM ports on the DS. You can see in the picture that there 8 sets of relay pins below the PWM ports and in between the I2C port and Digital IO ports.
But let's not hijack this thread; let's get back to answering the OP's question, not answering various side questions about how many PWM connections you can make or how cramped the DS gets. That's the subject of a different thread.
