I think it's relatively common to have shell hosts from which to log
into production machines, or to have shared hosts for students at
universities, and I do know that shared web hosting is still quite
popular (because it tends to be very economical and low maintenance for
the user).

I don't know that shared repositories are really that common anymore,
and I do usually recommend that people clone their own copies whenever
possible, but I have seen posts on StackOverflow where people are in
fact using a shared repository (possibly with multiple worktrees) on one
system for various reasons.
