A search on bugzilla finds 974 issues with status Confirmed.  While this is only 5%-6% of all open bugs (> 17000), it's enough to make me think that people do use it a fair amount.

I agree with @aaron.ballman that the existence of other labels does not count as confirmation; I certainly like to put relevant labels on issues I file, so that the right people will be notified, but that doesn't mean I've filed a meaningful bug (the last one I filed was promptly closed as Invalid).

So, I think a Confirmed label, meaning a second party has actively looked at the problem and reproduced or otherwise thinks it's valid, is a useful thing to have; and I'd recommend that someone propagate bugzilla Confirmed status to the new Confirmed GH label.
