I can understand it being used in a high stress situations where lots of people are communicating together without time to type

I believe it's the opposite. During a raid encounter, my guess is that only the raid leader and perhaps officers are permitted to speak in most guilds. The biggest benefit is that people don't miss instructions that may otherwise quickly scroll by unseen.
It's hard to imagine a competitive guild not using ventrilo or something similar. Not everyone likes it, but it definitely has the potential to drastically improve communication and coordination if used properly.
With that said, I don't like it for reasons expressed already. It breaks immersion, etc.. If not properly moderated or if the raid leader is a moron, it can easily induce headaches worse than those from guildchat text alone.
