| Yes, as other noted AMD used VLIW for terscale in the 2000-6000 series. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeraScale_(microarchitecture) They are used in a lot of DSP chips too, where you (hopefully) have very simple branching if any and nice data access patterns. |

| Some older ones, yeah (TeraScale comes to mind) but modern ones are more like RISC with whopping levels of SIMD. It turns out that VLIW was hard for them too. |
