Yes. A lot of people are. Know a few friends that are running podcast sites on them (sparse content, highly trafficked) and a news aggregator for infosec-related topics (lots of content, less traffic). Also Smashing Magazine is also running on a static site (lots of content, highly trafficked).
If I'll need to create a news site these days, I'm going with a static site generator or a headless CMS myself too.
