I have, I owned a Tesla Model S P85D for a while. Had to turn off one-pedal-driving. I found it substantially less intuitive than two pedals for any kind of spirited driving, which is what I do every time I get in I car I own. I've had 5 corvettes, 3 GT-R's, and currently driving an 800 hp Mercedes AMG GT S (2 door coupe, not that horrid 4-door atrocity), so I'm admittedly not the target demographic either for one-pedal-driving or EV's more broadly, as they currently stand.

My standards for what qualifies as "strong" braking are probably bordering on alien for most people, too - about 95 feet for 60 mph to 0. That Tesla took almost 120 feet. A new Honda Accord takes about 130 feet.

Did the P85D actually come to a full stop via regen? I thought that was only a feature of newer Tesla models. The newer models are certainly capable of stopping using the motor alone, you can feel the friction brakes engage to hold you at a stop.

It would not, but it did bring it down to a crawl of maybe 3-5 mph.

Newer models have much stronger regen all the way down to 0mph.

The main issue with relying on regen is reduced regen power when the battery is cold. For a mail truck I think a stronger battery heater while plugged in, or a braking resistor to turn regen power into battery heat, would be helpful.
