Never heard of a particular software vendor nor security author
disctating it, but then perhaps that's because some of us set
things up based on real experience and don't always see those

That's a change mgmt complaint, not a bogon filter complaint. There
are many many many of us who experience concrete benefits and zero
problems WRT bogon filters.  I suspect those stating there's no 
benefit never actually used them.
