Wow. that seemed convoluted, didn't it?
For example - The nearest interstate exit to me, and the one I use most frequently is I-25 exit 269 (SH 14).
my own list is a tad pathetic, because the only other exit 269 that I've used is I-70 exit 269 (the I-76 split). I might have hit one in Virginia in the hampton roads area but it was a long time ago.. and back then they were sequential, not mileage based.
My home exit is I-71 exit 19. Cincinnati's Ikea is off I-75 exit 19. Back when I lived in St Louis, two of my most used exits are US 40/61 exit 19B and MO 364 exit 19.
Exit closest to me is Exit 1 of I-80/94, so I've got a lot.
Exit 1 of I-65 in Indiana, US 31/10th St
Exit 1 of I-265 in Indiana, State St
Exit 1 of I-94 in Michigan, M 239
Exit 1 of I-94 in Illinois, US 41
Exit 1 of KY 841 in Kentucky, US 31W/ US 60
Exit 1 of I-76 in Ohio, I-71
Exit 1 of I-295 in Maryland, I-95/495
Exit 1 of I-66 in Virginia, I-81
Exit 1 of I-95 in New York, US 9
Exit 1 of I-395 in Virginia, I-94/495
Exit 1 of I-10 in California, CA 1
Exit 1 of I-5 in California, I-805
There are probably others that I'm not thinking of right now.
I'm right between exits 66 and 73 and use them equally. I have not used an exit 66 anywhere else but I found these for 73:
I-20 exit 73 Alabama - US 82 McFarland Blvd in Tuscaloosa
I-30 exit 73 Arkansas - AR 8 Arkadelphia
I-45 exit 73 Texas - Rayford Dr in Spring

I get what you are getting at. The Ben White (US-290/SH-71) exit on I-35 in Austin is exit 230. Anytime I see an exit 230, I think of home. I can't tell you any off my head though.
Likewise, anytime I am on an interstate headed south or west and I get to the point the mile markers start counting down from about 40 to 0, I think of I-37 going to Corpus Christi, because it was the first interstate I ever took and watched the mile markers count down to zero.
My closest exit is Exit 18 on I-81 in NY.
Before the mileage-based exit numbering change, I did take Exit 18 on I-91 somewhat often (US 5, Northampton). Exit 19 moreso (MA 9, Hadley/Northampton).
Closest exit to me: I-225 exit 4 (Parker Rd/CO83)
Other exit 4's I've taken (probably not exhaustive):
I-270 (CO) CO35/Quebec St.
I-635 (KS) I-70
I-275 (KY) KY212 towards CVG
I-695 (MD) I-97
I-29/35 (MO) The Paseo
I-19 (AZ) AZ189
I-95 (NH) US4
I-710 (CA) I-405
I-494 (MN) Nicollet Avenue
E-470 (CO) Jordan Avenue
I-35W (MN) **Bonus** Both Cliff Road (4A) and Black Dog Road (4B)
There's probably more, but that's all I have for now. Edit - Just added the last five. I figured I missed some.

OK, unless I'm forgetting a highway...
Exit 50
I-15 (NV) – never used Exit 50
I-24 (TN) – only in the direction not signed as Exit 50
I-25 (CO) – never used Exit 50
I-27 (TX) – never used Exit 50
I-29 (IA) – never used Exit 50
I-29 (MO) – only entering from the crossroad, i.e. not exiting
I-35 (KS) – closest to home
I-40 (OK) – never used Exit 50
I-94 (IL) – never used Exit 50
I-64 (IL) – YES
Recently I took exit 360 off (Spanish) A-8. Or I would have taken it if it was signed correctly, as it stands now the exit number is for A-8 itself, when it should be for A-64. Exit 360 off A-23 is one of the two exits nearest to me (the other is exit 357).
I also have a low number - 7 - at least if we're going by road miles. (If we're going as the crow flies, I might have to change my answer.)
I'll plan on updating this as I find more, but for now, the other Exit 7's that I have used are:
I-190 Exit 7 (NY 5)
I-390 Exit 7 (NY 63/NY 408)
I-490 Exit 7 (NY 33)

The OP can weigh in here, but I would absolutely count that for the purposes of this exercise. I assumed "exit" to be synonymous with "interchange" in this context.

Then what about my Nashville example on I-24? Southeast-bound,
it's Exit 50 (https://goo.gl/maps/9b3HpSB4weLJyQc77). But I've only driven through there northwest-bound, where the same interchange
is Exit 211 (https://goo.gl/maps/HfrCeW8vFh2TjUf48).

That's kind of a weird example. I'm not too familiar with the start/end of interstate overlaps since they're pretty sparse in this part of the country, but the few I am familiar with are
generally (https://www.google.com/maps/@42.1184738,-75.9103125,3a,49.7y,189.44h,90.73t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sn-AS0WXCebuIEdb65_chKA!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3Dn-AS0WXCebuIEdb65_chKA%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D76.77727%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1?hl=en)

I probably wouldn't count this particular one, but I wouldn't have a big issue either way.
My "home" interchange is exit 265 off of I-25 in Colorado. As far as I know, the only exit 265 interchanges that I have travelled are UT I-15 exit 265 (UT 114) and CO I-70 exit 265 (CO 58).
Mine is OH 562 Exit 3 (but only for the next few weeks). Other Exit 3's I've used:
OH I-75 Hopple St (Cincinnati)
OH I-74 Dry Fork Rd
KY I-471 Grand Ave (Ft. Thomas)
probably others somewhere

For the approximate 3 mile overlap of I-24 and I-40 in Nashville, the I-40 mile markers are used for exit numbers.
I-40 mile markers are also used for the exit numbers in overlap area of I-40 and I-65.
For the overlap of I-24 and I-65, I-65 mile markers are used for the exit numbers.
The local Conestoga Parkway (freeways) have no exit numbers, so I'll use Exit 278 on the 401 as my exit.
The only one I can find is the exit for Quebec St on I-70 in Denver
Closest Exit to me is Exit 54 on I-57 for The Hill Ave and IL Rt 13 in Marion, IL
Other Exit 54s I have used:
I-88/IL Dixon Exit/IL 26 was given Exit 54 when ISTHA added exit numbers
I-90/94/Dan Ryan Expwy Exit 54 for 31st St on Chicago's South Side/near Comiskey Park
Maybe others? May edit in the future more I look at more traveled routes
Hmm. I'm not super close to any of the freeways, but I'm about equal distance from all three major interstates.
To get to my house, one either uses exit 45 or 46 on IH 45, exit 130 on IH 69, and exit 771 on Ih 10. I'll have to take some time to research and remember when I've taken those exits elsewhere. Luckily there isn't another exit 771 anywhere I don't think.

You must live fairly close to where I used to live, which was the east side of Herrin (just southeast of the old Maytag plant). For what it's worth, the exit at The Hill Ave was just opening up when I moved away from the area, which means I never got to use it as a DDI–although I did use the Route 13 interchange as a SPUI while stopping at Hucks on my way to Tennessee a few years ago.
The ballpark was one of the customers I delivered to, so I got to see its progress all the way from its being just an expanse of empty land with some trailers to watching a ballgame during their opening season.
