Fair enough. But I've used event sourcing in production in two companies. One project was a large scale distributed object store and the other was network equipment (like switches) and network management. The banking example is a classical one but I can't tell you if it's actually used in production. What I do know is that accounting software follows the ledger approach which has a similar spirit, recording transactions, and my guess would be regardless of technology banks also are transaction/event based as their source of truth (even in a COBOL mainframe batch processing scenario).
