I assume the 9P used for WSL is the same 9P used for a lot of hypervisors,
it's not really 9P since it's extended in a bunch of ways to make it
behave in a more POSIX-ey manner (as I understand it.)

Ron Minnich used to use Plan 9 at some lab or another for high performance
computing and posts about the topic sometimes (look up Nix on the ML) but
I don't know if that's still commercial or it's hobby work.

As far as I'm aware nothing commercial currently uses Plan 9 in production
but I'm not an expert. At least I haven't noticed chatter about it in my
few months on the list; I want to say a while ago someone asked if there
were any plan 9 jobs out there and was told no, not as far as anyone
knows.
