The pro bands using modeling probably run stereo just because lol, although the there is very little benefit to do that on a large venue. Most of those subtleties get lost in a large room anyway.
The only modern pro guy that I can think of who talked about running stereo live was Petrucci, and even he mentioned it didn't really translate through the PA, but he liked hearing it ping/pong behind him.
Lots of dual mono, where I think they're just trying to thicken the guitars since you can't double track live... but no actual stereo stuff that I can think of.
Old school, I think wet/dry was more common, but that was mostly due to lack of effects loops.
HRI was the only place I remember taking stereo or W/D/W seriously, and a lot of them were chasing '80s recording tones (Michael Landeau), which was pretty much the opposite of TGP was back then.
