Yup, I believe most do, and a lot of guys are using them. My issue with using just the throttle curve as a solution here is the tiny bit of servo travel being used when you get it all set up and working correctly. Check it out. What are you using? Maybe 20% of the servo's potential travel? 30%?

A FAR better solution is to set up a throttle linkage that will do the majority of this for you, THEN use a throttle curve for final trimming.

For our OP, I would add that when it comes to a plane that seems to be hard on it's landing gear, is the effect a forward CG has on a plane's ability to slow down while still maintaining good control (they won't!). The CG too far forward plane has a tendency to come in fast and use way too much runway - which invites trying to slow the plane down by dragging the gear in the grass. You can get away with flying like this on a .40 size plane, but when the planes start getting up into the teens for weight - this is a plan that doesn't work so well, regularly wiping out/removing the landing gear. Great Planes Super Sportsters were pretty well known for this. The factory "starting" CG shown in the manual was WAY too far forward (2"?), and when guys coming up through the ranks of smaller to bigger planes tried flying one of these 15-16 lb planes while still used to their .40-.60 size rigs, they had a terrible time - until somebody pointed out the CG issue. The plane was easily capable of tail wheel first landings regularly when set up correctly....
