I did (to an extent). I went out when it was 14 knots gusting to 25 on a small lake. I am about 80kg and got the Sroka Fynix 5m (paid full price, no association with the company), below average winger and was once on an ozone pr v2 for 15 min (never got up).
So my experience with the parawing is not existent. Take my notes with a grain of salt.
First of all, I was on it for about 15 min as rain came in and killed all the wind. I watched plenty of videos and first 10 min didn't use the Fynyix depower but since I wasn't succeeding on getting up on board, I decided to try it.
It made a significant difference. I hooked it, depowered the pw and it stayed on the edge. Without my hands on it, I was able to get on the board and then up on my knees. That's when I grabbed the bar and stood up. I couldn't get on foil as it was gusty and it was really my first time but my first impression of the push bar system is very positive. I know people initially struggle with getting up and I had no problem doing that.
Not enough wind to try it again but hopefully next week.
My only negative feedback were the lines. Most pws these days come with one line which then splits into many. Fynix doesn't do that and I guess it's because they want the bar to have more friction when depowering so it stays in its place.
Anyway, can't wait to try it again.
