Yes I have. I think this is a good potential solution for getting around the narrow flange issue, but burning is still a potential problem as you say, as is vulnerability of the disk. Because I find that a Magura rim brake is lightweight and works very well, it just hasn't been a big priority to work on this. The other aspect of rim brakes is that the braking torque scales with rim diameter, so rim braking on a 36'er has quite a lot of power.
