They're absolutely common nowadays. While guitarists are always searching for new things to say and new ways to do it, it has become normal for them to explore alternate tunings in all styles. Moraíto didn't use alternate tunings a lot, he has a rondena and one or two pieces with drop D tuning (which has always been common). His sons use all kinds of alternate tunings. So while the rondena and drop D tunings have been around, you can now hear many pieces with drop C and drop B tunings, and several other uncommon variations. Aside from Ramón Montoya (inventor of the rondena), check out Nino Ricardo, Sabicas, Manolo Sanlúcar, Paco de Lucía and almost anyone since Paco, you will find several examples.
