I use parts of the C shape for other songs, mainly the A and D strings and also for 7th chords.
Same with G shapes, but with the lower 2 strings only.
Use it all the time*. Tend to make it across 6 strings but only play 3 or 4 of them.
G shape, tend to make bits of it; top bit or bottom bit.
* The absolute classic being a move between a minor and its relative major (either way) i and I can't be arsed to move my hand across the neck.

An example below, there may be better ones.
Enabled him to pick notes in and around the chord as he so often liked doing

So, I might play:
F: 8x756x
F6: 8x776
Or:
12 x 9 12 x x
For Em.
The only time I'd play C or G shapes as a barre would be if I was doing some fake-capo-ing, or some Hendrix things. Neither of which I'd make any claim to be expert in.
Roly Poly - Bob wills
Dinah - Django (of,course, he used lots of,approaches)
lipstick on my collar - connie Frances
might be an element of the "used a lot..." part of,OP
I’m with Matt McG I don’t really play full barre chords, only 3 or 4 note versions.
I got better at bar chords because I'm lazy and couldn't be arsed to put a capo on for songs like Hotel California .... so I just used to bar all the chords and it sounded 80% the same which is good enough
I also use a moveable D shape a lot - miss the top string and you have a power chord that cuts through and takes up less frequency space than an A or E shape which can be handy if you have two guitars or keyboards.

1. That is the sound you are after.
2. You don't really know your chords.
