Matthew Luckie and Ben Stasiewicz. 2010. Measuring path MTU discovery behaviour. In Proceedings of the 10th ACM SIGCOMM conference on Internet measurement (IMC '10). ACM, New York, NY, USA, 102-108. DOI=http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/1879141.1879155

PDF here: https://www.caida.org/~mjl/pubs/measuring-pmtud.pdf

"This paper measures PMTUD behaviour for
50,000 popular websites and finds the failure rate in IPv4
is much less than previous studies. We measure the overall
failure rate between 5% and 18%, depending on the MTU of
the constraining link."

5-18% is pretty bad. I would expect that the widespread deployment of CGNs since this was published in 2010 to not have improved things.
