Yes, we have.
OK to be more precise we have created projects and apps (as we are a software company) and customer uses this configuration. As our customers mostly are our local organizations and also governmental organizations they have quite strict requirements for uptime for business hours, but actually at nights almost nobody works with these apps. Also data volumes are not thaaaat big, i.e. in magnitudes of (tens or hundreds) GB, not TB. So night windows are enough in case of necessity. And the main factor here is price - if you compare - 70K for 4 proc (say 4 cores) SE (RAC included) with - 4 proc * 4 cores * 0.5 (let's say the average factor) * 47 500 = 380K EE (without RAC) and
- the same math for EE RAC 4 * 4 * 0.5 * 23 000 = 184 K EE RAC

So 70K vs 564K $. OK there are discounts and probably they can use less cores but the difference is too big. Most of the time both customer and we can agree that we'd rather improve functionality of our app than spend half a million for licences :)
