Thank you for answering, That's very interesting! Yeah, I recall being excited about ITCs, but it doesn't seems like they made their way into too many practical distributed systems.

Also I had forgotten but here is a more recent follow-up to Fred Hebert's post: https://ferd.ca/a-bridge-over-a-river-never-crossed.html
I don't know many systems that use ITC. Version vectors are simpler and sufficient in most cases. One of the authors of the original paper mentioned in a later presentation (https://cbaquero.github.io/web/pdf/SDLtime2021.pdf) that they were used for tracing, in particular in a 2015 system called Pivot Tracing.
