I consider usages on Hackage an OK estimator of usages outside of Stackage, certainly enough to get a first expression. Also, with haskell-indexer becoming really easy to use, the maintainers of off-Hackage code bases can themselves more easily determine whether they use functions in question and chime into the discussion with real data.

It does not (and cannot) tell you about caller code that is not on Hackage. If you have a low-level library then that information is still better than nothing, but if your code is a public API this information is almost worse than nothing.
