It's a useful bit of shorthand, but I think it's been overused to the point of cliché. It's not really alarming or interesting anymore to have a character cough weakly and then do a dramatic pause (though who knows what sort of impact covid will have on public reaction to disease in media), it's just faintly laughable.
Still, coughing is also way easier to convey quickly in any medium compared to 'mysterious bruising' or 'hair falling out', as far as symptoms of terminal illnesses go.
