I think for that to really come into play, you need to be looking pretty far. Like it's not something you'll really see in the stars you see at night with your eyes in our local galaxy.

But sure, looking into deep intergalactic space, which requires a decent telescope, it's probably not all that uncommon. Take a look at some of Webbs early pics, you'll see lots of warped and stretched images which I believe are examples of that phenomenon as well. And those are just in small patches of space.
