I'm not saying people don't use them. But %'s no. I tested with putting Left at 0 and right at 100 (For Right handed shooter) and yes it worked as intended. I'd have to see Dirk & Z-Bo using these moves going to the opposite shoulder. Have any video proof? I'm not talking face up's...
Here is Dirk Fadeaway's going to Right Shoulder... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXauvL75rdY
Z-Bo Going to his left...

We have the stats for post moves for the past 12 years, courtesy of Synergy...
In 2016-17, Carmelo shot:
76 left shoulder fadeaways
21 right shoulder fadeaways
Aldridge shot:
27 left shoulder fadeaways
105 right shoulder fadeaways
Dirk shot:
16 left shoulder fadeaways
68 right shoulder fadeaways
Wiggins shot:
44 left shoulder fadeaways
50 right shoulder fadeaways
And for good measure, Kobe in 2008-09 shot:
82 left shoulder fadeaways
62 right shoulder fadeaways
As you know, all these guys are right-handed. So obviously different players favor different shoulders for fadeaways, and it's not a given for any particular player.
Now, I can show you videos on all of these if you want, Synergy provides links to the video clips in sequence for any of these stats, just like NBA.com does. Unless you have a subscription, I'll have to dig them up on NBA.com.
