I believe Sourcegraph uses Comby under the hood to an extent for structural matching as well!

Yep! (Sourcegraph Community Manager here) We use Comby syntax for structural search: https://docs.sourcegraph.com/code_search/reference/structura...
We also have a few tutorials to make large-scale code changes across many repositories and code hosts (batch changes) with Comby:
- Refactor Go code using Comby: https://docs.sourcegraph.com/batch_changes/tutorials/refacto...
- Updating Go import statements using Comby: https://docs.sourcegraph.com/batch_changes/tutorials/updatin...
The author of Comby is a researcher at Sourcegraph building our search platform.
