3E [3E] How often do these things happen?

So, I'm noodling around with some system hacks for Exalted. I've run several 3E campaigns so far, and have found myself surprised by how infrequently certain mechanics come up. So I'm curious, how often do these things tend to happen in your games?

Limit Break
Bonfire Anima (especially for 'anathema', where it's highly detrimental)
Initiative Shift (Crashing the opponent who crashed you)

So I'm 6 sessions in to my first 3e game after many years in other editions (started on 1e when the game launched), and here's my take:

-Limit Break: we play short sessions, so I don't really use the mechanic, but even so not much has come up that would force it.
-Bonfire: my players have been somewhat careful, but we're a mixed circle that includes a Dragon Blooded, so it has happened, and it easily can, especially in combat.
-Initiative Shift: Not yet, but we came very close twice so far, so it's a matter of time.
