I'm sure it's less common these days with everything on "the cloud" (far less convenient), but in the old days entire companies ran on NFS. Thousands of workstations, with dozens-to-hundreds of NFS servers mapped to a global filesystem hierarchy, automounting as needed. So the answer to "has anyone" is yes, lots of companies, for a couple decades. I do miss it, it was so super convenient to have everything in what seemed one giant filesystem. At a tiny scale I still have the convenience at home. My file server (ZFS) exports various filesystems to all other machines in the house (via zfs sharenfs).
