We didn't use it in the gym I used to train Muay thai at.

And we don't use it in the one I train shootfighting in now when we spar standup, or on the ground for that matter.

I think the headgear provides a false sense of security, it doesn't protect the brain from the blows you get, it only protect against superficial(is that the word) damages, such as bruising and cuts.
