I'm not aware of anyone using it.  I too would rather prohibit its
use.  That limits two-party session length, but from a practical
perspective, that limit is going to be reached rarely, if ever without
a re-handshake.

Note that EKT isn't a perfect replacement because we should be
prohibiting the initiation of EKT from browser endpoints (well,
applications shouldn't be able to set the value used, though I guess
they could request that the browser initiate EKT).
