If you know of any chips taped-out, and shipping in volume, that used any of these as their primary tool, I’d be very interested to know more about that.

I’m aware of chisel used to verify some RISC-V cores that were fabricated, but that’s a research POC, not a volume/production ASIC.

All of SiFive's chips use Chisel, it's our primary design language. We use commercial tools post-Verilog (ie, synthesis and place+route). We use Verilator for some simulation, but also use commercial Verilog simulators.

We have chips shipping in volume.

Chisel was used to do Google‘s Coral TPU, although most likely they used commercial simulators as backend.
