Hi Edwin,
EBR is the lynchpin of one of the central new features in Release 12.2 of Oracle Applications, which was released last Friday. A combination of EBR in the database and built-in staged applications tier file system will permit fully online, zero-downtime patching in EBS environments. As with all broad statements, there are exceptions and nuances, but this is the real deal. :)
One of my colleagues at work wrote an interesting article on the topic;
you can find it at

So, to answer your question: Yes, people are doing exactly what you've described, and Oracle is eating its own dog food in this case. :) You need to be on 12.2 to take advantage of the feature, though, so grab your upgrade boots!
