I use it very regularly. Particularly the headless part (where nobody is logged in physically, just a remote session).

Gnome has had remote desktop sharing I think since 46.
Settings --> System --> Remote Desktop
The "desktop sharing" tab is for setting credentials to share your logged in screen.
The "Remote Login" tab is for setting credentials to access GDM and login as any user (i.e. headless).
