I think you'd be surprised. I know a fairly large school which puts through many dozens of pilots per year, and the only fixed-pitch prop they operate is a tail dragger used for aeros. They don't let low time students near that.
I guess the question you need to ask is whether any current ab-initio constant speed prop aircraft have constant speed pumps located where they can be damaged by nose wheel oleo damage, or was the aircraft in your example unique in that respect.
