We (as in Codesourcery) have access to the older SPEC Accel and the
newer SPEC HPC (but not to SPEC CPU – which SUSE has access to). In SPEC
HPC, I did not see any 'final ::'.

For code using finalization: In the popular non-free
electronic-structure code VASP (used to calculate molecules), I see a
single 'final::'.

A similar less popular program is Octopus,
https://gitlab.com/octopus-code/octopus That would be a real-world code
that uses 45 times 'final', 80 times 'type, extends(...)' and a thousand
times 'class(...)'. Thus, that could be a real-world testcase. (I have
not built it for a longer time.* It includes a regression-test suite.)

(*) Octopus: I haven't build it for a longer time, but I think it should
build without too much trouble. That was the program the group
co-developed where I did my master thesis.  / If you want to see what it
does: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octopus_(software) or
