There were a few deployed. Not extensively because these things are quite expensive
It was a research project to learn about long range AD.
Same goes for Talash, Radd which transformed into 15th Khordad and 3rd Khordad.
I'm more hopeful on Arman project, which is road mobile version of 15th khordad and uses vertical launch system.

No there was a few prototype launchers built to test the product. Bavar-373 never entered serial production.
It was another Iranian grandiose project trying to emulate what the great powers can produce. In the end it cost Iran greatly when those same funds could have been spent on acquiring Chinese and Russian air defense systems instead of relying on a small order of S-300 to defend the airspace at long range.
Arman battery was picked off in the early weeks of the war. So clearly, it is not capable of survival against an opponent that can locate your air defenses. Wether it was the targeting radar or the command and control node, something was vulnerable in the product chain that allowed US/Israel to exploit and kill it.
