I have not done so for one reason: what happens if I have a site that is using a module that gets abandoned or doesn't get upgraded in a timely manner? And with multi-sites and the potential to have several sites on a single installation (like > 20), there's a good likelihood that on a major upgrade (like from 4.6 to 4.7 or 4.7 to 5.0), I will have more than one such module.
Upgrading is one reason that I'm considering splitting up my multi site. I have 3 sites running off a multi site. One of them I want to bring to 5.x within a few months after release. The other two really don't need to be upgraded as long as 4.7 is still supported.
The only real advantage I've found to multi site is security updates only need to be applied in one place. I'm not sure that benefit outweighs the pain of being forced to upgrade all sites at once.
If you do decide to do multi site, and you only have one or two out of the 20 that you don't want to upgrade because you're waiting on a module, you could always split those off of the multi site until they are ready to be upgraded.
