I am.
My system is all ~x86, except for gcc, glibc and binutils, because I
had an awful experience with those in the past, which left the system
completely unusable. glibc problems aren't something we want to have
to deal with (even python didn't run, so no portage to help).

Yes, perhaps instead of masking individual package versions, I should
leave some of those packages tied to x86, that would still allow some
updates.
Anyway, I have the habit of looking at package.* and recheck if things
still need to be there. For example, I still have the unmasks for
gnome-2.14, which I think aren't needed anymore, so I'll remove them.
