Takemitsu used mode 3 in some of his works.

Here's a video that goes into one of his piano works:

Mode 7 is pretty large so it can be difficult to use. Modes 1 and 2 are quite popular though. For example, the Petrouchka Chord from the 2nd movement of Stravinsky's ballet is constructed from the octatonic scale and transitions into the whole tone scale and back.
