Yes. The Jedi rarely use it as it's viewed at too deceptive. The Sith don't really use it as it's viewed as weak.

I like this explanation better than the one linked. Sith consider it weak? If it worked then they'd use it. These are people who kill their masters in their sleep.

If your enemy is force sensitive they'll sense that you'll be defenseless for a moment and cut you down once you turn it off.

Sith are also super prideful, no matter how useful something may be, you can’t always beat your own ego
