Short answer: nobody really knows. Nobody even knows if there's
any consistency to what goes on.

Chords... depends on what you consider a chord. The biggest
deviations from 12 in jazz are probably in sax or vocal melodies.
I've heard big bands hit some JI stuff. Guitarists can bend
notes, but only up, and most JI is flat of 12.
