On my current machine, yes. On various machines in the past, no; but
anything I wasn't comfortable with others seeing didn't touch those
machines, because if nothing else (other) sysadmins would see them. So
022 was an acceptable umask.

I think umask addresses a different issue than "unprivileged user". In any case, yes, 077 is fairly uncommon; if you have that much need for privacy then perhaps you should not be using the system in the first place.
Are you the only user on the machine?
