Yes. I have used this a few times in the last 18 months. Mostly for
fun through my small UUCP network.
So there's one thing (that I do understand) that can be done with
sendmail that can't (AFAICT) be done with the usual replacements.
I thought at least one of the other contemporary MTAs also supported UUCP.
I would assume anything that does support UUCP would also support
bang-routing as I believe that's more of a UUCP function than an MTA
function. So I'm surprised at the idea that other things that do
support UUCP don't support bang-routing.
