I do.  See here, for example: http://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue

I don't like that RPATH takes precedence over everything.
It means you basically can't move the shared libraries at all, or
override the library for a specific binary.

RUNPATH is a bit better, as it has lower precedence.  But it's still
not worth the trouble.
