We have used it in our core since JunOS 20.3+ but no peers (over 250) have
accepted to use TCP-AO so far.

As for usage....slow adoption.  I only know of one production deployment
(because I control both eBGP routers :)

I don't think that URL explains how commonly it is used.

In my experience TCP-AO use is extremely limited, partly because it's
super new in practice. Juniper had it for a long time, but it was
pre-standard even years after the standard was published, which
probably didn't matter much, as no one else had it at all until
somewhat recently.

I suspect this type of order of events may have led many people to
look into TCP-AO early on, and decided correctly it was not
operationally feasible, and that has stuck.

Y'all --

Does anyone know of a survey or study showing the rate of uptake for
BGP over TCP-AO? I've poked around some and asked in a few places and not
found anything, but I probably missed something out there.

If there's no studies, does anyone have any experiences possibly
indicating BGP over TCP-AO usage they can share?
