Other than the government, nobody trying to do client certs actually runs the CA that issues them that I've seen. Instead, they trust some random set of commercial CAs, ignorant of the fact that openssl s_client -connect will dump out that list to any passer-by. I've even seen them trusting the "domain control validated only" certs, without any indication of "maybe this is a bad idea, because anyone who can buy a cert can auth to us because we don't even check."
So for every case I've seen, they'd have been ahead to issue credentials themselves and just skip client certs.
