I'm sure its common but I find a design issue with wago's or stab in connections, the connection point of a stab in is based on a thin edge contact as opposed to a more solid surface connection found under a device bolt or twisted along other ( solid ) wires of a wire nut. I have to admit I have used them recently on recessed lights but that's because not much heat is subjected to the connection of a 17w LED trim load therefor I'll use them there but would never use stab ins on a heavier load like 2 or more amps.
