yes, some emulators faithfully mimic vt100 PF* keys (and indeed I think
even xterm can do that)

Well the more appropriate question is whether or not anyone's using an
application which expects the user to send those sequences.

If so then one might also ask whether it's a libcurses (terminfo or
termcap) based application and whether or not the user has the ability
and skills to modify their termcap/terminfo entries as well as their
terminal emulator settings.
