Datapoint: in [biological] systematics in its broadest sense, Bayesian methods are increasingly important (molecular evolution studies,...), but I’ve never heard about pure Bayesian epistemology being in demand. Maybe because we leave it all to our mathematicians.
Part of the issue I keep harping about is people keep confusing Bayes rule, Bayesian networks, Bayesian statistical inference, and Bayesian epistemology. I don’t have any issue with a thoughtful use of Bayesian statistical inference when it is appropriate—how could I?
My issue is people being confused, or people having delusions of grandeur.
