@Daniel Hale? Is that you?
I know people who have, but not every bike will let you do it. Can cause frame fouling.
Offset Bushings.

Frame fouling? Is that another way of saying I have a Mondraker?

On most setups it will be very hard to stop the bushing rotating over time to the slackest setting.

Yeah, I’m running that on my Norco. Wanted higher bb and more travel so extended fork from 130 to 150 and replaced 45mm stroke shock with 51mm along with lifting the back end slightly with one offset bushing. Made up dummy shocks to check clearances at full extension and compression to make sure it all worked first.
Did it a year or so ago and have been happy with it. Was wondering about the offset bushing rotating but it hasn’t budged.

I’ve heard it happening, but also not as common as I would expect. As long as dead straight, and done up tight, seems fine. A mate tried them sideways to help with air can clearance….ended badly.
