I once attended a party of musicians in NY where the music was provided by a cellist and accordionist playing mostly Baroque music.  It changed my perception of the accordion.  the players were superb, and the "breathing" of the accordion gave the continuo parts a kind of life that was different from the usual harpsichord sound, but certainly no less beautiful.  Always ready for good surprises.

Not far removed from the accordion,but mouth harps were used for basso continuo sometimes.

Not as much as the use of Accordion or Bagpipes would be.

Nah - it depends on how used, as always.
