Yes I have used this procedure...APU with bleed and packs on for takeoff when I was based in southern europe. Also frequently when I was based in BHX operating a 180 seat config 320 from runway 15 which is more limiting I have used TOGA packs off 1500' one pack on and then 10 secs later the second on. Incidentally this went against SOP which dictated pack 1 on at thrust reduction, pack 2 on at flap retraction but what the hey.
Actually thinking about it when I was wet leased to an operator based in Abu Dhabi I am pretty sure I used APU on with bleed for T/O but I can't remember from where, most of the runways I was flying 320s into were long. But there fuel wasn't really an issue, we flew 0.81 everywhere and tankered as much as possible but hey that is a different story entirely.
