I’ve used JSF when it was still beta. It was chosen by an external “architect” as the front end for a big site with millions of views (he was anticipating that JSF would be come popular, and a big project with it would be good on his resume).
Salesforce (classic) is JSF.
It’s full of bugs and quirks. But it’s kind of nice in certain situations.
The big problem here is performance load on both client and server. State is sent back and forth and it that kan be huge, and needs to be deserializes, altered, and serialized back again every action. It also doesn’t reflect any http verbs. Everything is POST
The big site was technically running on JSF, but in such a way that it wasn’t JSF any more

The Visualforce framework (that customers can write interactive pages in, and a small minority of the standard UI is build in) is based on JSF, but most of Salesforce classic standard UI is written in a home-grown system that generates HTML described in imperative Java. It's more akin to an HTML generating Tk.
