Yes, it is a very common use case.
Nowadays, everybody who deploys Xen, KVM, or LXC without a Cloud

In that case you can program Open vSwitch using its own interface to
provide virtual networks.

Citation needed. I'd say most pepole use the regular linux bridge because for a long time this was pretty much the only game in town.

When deploying Openstack, you can use Open vSwitch without Quantum by
deploying nova-network instead.
As far as I know every nova-network manager works with Open vSwitch too.

As far as I know the plan for Havana is to deprecate nova-network so for any current development it's a bad idea to use that as a base.
