Yes, I have used instance mode. My P5-Electon Quickstart Template uses p5 instance mode. It definitely solves the problem of globals, but at the cost of readability p.ellipse vs just ellipse. While it is pretty much required in order to build a well structured application, something about it just feels not in the spirit of p5.
Overall, for a vast majority of projects made with p5, I think instance mode is not necessary. Globals really don't matter when you're quickly iterating and building a cool art piece with a code base you are not going to maintain.
I think that reduces the problem by a little bit, but you are still mutating the variables scoped to the main function. Atm i dont think theres any actual functional way
