Is rsync still a supported git transport (I know that there is still
code for it, but does anyone care for it)? Does anyone use it?
http has caused a couple of queries recently, but I haven't noticed
anything about rsync. Does that mean that it "just works", or is it
simply that no one uses it?
Just curious ...

Rsync has significant problems that prevent it being used in serious
situations.
Primarily, it is not atomic. So, if the other end is busy with an
operation while you are rsyncing, you are likely to get a corrupted fetch.
I'm sure that there are others, but I don't remember them offhand.
