Yes - over the past 2.5 years. We have built products for customers that handle 100s of millions of dollars in transactions using low-code tools along with RPA. While its really great to get started..roadblocks tend be major when compared to opensource frameworks like rails or spring boot.

At some point the low-code became more-code than our usual spring boot/rails approach. Integrations with libraries that the platform does not contain functionality for is a major headache.

I think a sweet spot would be a low-code/no-code platform with minimal abstraction built on top of currently popular web frameworks.

Low-code: Outsystems, appian, Apex, odoo(not really low-code for the most part)

RPA: robotframework - along with python+java

Also upgrades need to be carefully planned when using low-code tools as we have seen more breaking changes when compared to popular opensource frameworks.
