Yes.  Lots, for lots of reasons.  Classic case being where they want
to run a commercial application on a 'supported' platform, and the
vendor doesn't yet support Linux.  This is still surprisingly common.

I'm also seeing increased demand for Solaris 10, whose performance and
features are much better than I expected.

Don't be silly - this is possible with ksh which has shipped with
Solaris for as long as I can remember.
