In a Fender-style design, the paraphase wouldn't present any cost savings over a long-tail, whereas the cathodyne certainly does.

I can't think of any Fenders that ever used anything other than cathodyne or long-tailed splitters.
A lot of the bigger (18W+) Wide Panel amps used paraphase PIs, whether fixed or self-balancing. Despite all the inherent defects (or maybe because of them), these amps are said to sound very good!
