I have not since I tend to play leagues that reflect a modern-day MLB setup. I would have one potential concern with a hard cap league though and it may not even occur in the game:

What happens if you have an off-season, particularly early in the league, where a number of high-value contracts come off the books? My fear would be that teams, and perhaps a cash cap would mitigate this, would give out league contracts because of the cap room they had and this would make their salary distribution/space unwieldy for 5-6 years. It seems in a league like that, choosing sensible suggested salary levels would be particularly important.

Hopefully someone with more expertise on this topic can join the discussion.
