I've used it, but very sparingly. Settings were 10:1, opto (att.10, rel.0), detector HP in, everything else as clean as possible, and max 3 dB GR on peaks. More for safety than for effect, really.
You don't want to overcompress on the way in; VO is one of the fields where you want to keep your options open as long as possible.
OTOH, on "mixdown" you can do a lot with compressors and EQs.
