How common are those two classes?

You'd have to ask a fab probably to get real numbers, but the chips that people care about that haven't migrated to a newer node trend towards having at least some mixed analog components more than the set of all chips being made. Otherwise a shrink probably would have already made sense since 28nm isn't even the cheapest node gate for gate but already a bit chonky. It gets cheaper with even smaller nodes.
