As a producer I do it from time to time with certain types of part. It tends to be rhythm guitars or acoustics which are out of time or have clashing open bottom e string ringing etc. I will try many times with the player first. I quite often mute strings for people as they play. It might also be making contributions to bv stacks. As said above it depends totally on the band. Indie band scenario: I'll discuss it with them. Major label pop type of thing, maybe not.

I never play parts which are crucial to the personality of the player or band eg solos etc but I might do a buried supporting part or a double track.

I never change a part.
