Bitwarden, Ghostscript, GNUnet, Grafana, lichess, Mastodon, MongoDB, NextCloud, PeerTube, ScyllaDB, Signal and more all use AGPL. Seems there are plenty of examples.

I think which license you use has less to do with number of contributors or "prosperity" than other things happening in the project.

Wow, I had no idea some of those names were under that license. Thanks!

I'm even a Signal subscriber, and just didn't think about that aspect of their shared source model.

I mentioned number of contributors as that attribute is generally predictive for longer running, healthy projects.
