Intuitively I'd feel like the larger the bank, the more work such a transition would be and thus the smaller the likelihood of it having happened.

You're correct. It is a massive transition, middle-layer upon middle layer.

Oracle market a completely different code-base (which is fully Java), even single-currency code-bases, from those for larger banks, small third parties 'partners' providing implementation.

The larger the bank (or any company, really) the more labor they've been devoting to merger cleanup.
