There are some skiing xcd on tech bindings, even when the focus is mostly xc and narrower skis. Utemagasinet.no has an article on this. This is a bit special case though, as an "expedition race" where you have to bring an extra ski, and most bring two pairs of skis with different focus. I think you can see the picture of his setup here, with one pair of Asnes Ousland and one pair of Ski Trab skis, both with tech bindings:

I have seen other examples also and a friend of a friend uses the very light EVI Fury for touring, and at 86 mm waist it is the same weight as Asnes Falketind 62. I think especially in loose conditions it has advantages, and AT boots also have much more support if snow is harder:
