I've definitely used chat RP to play with ideas and get a feel for characters, same as one might use RP threes on the Board. I've generally operated under the assumption that things in RPs (both chat or Board) aren't canon unless someone actively makes it so (for example, by saying it's canon for their spinoff or, more loosely, by referencing the events of the RP in something they publish)

(And for an example of where the lack of canonicity helps - Farah used to have a lot more to angst about until I decided it was all a bit much and turned it down to one dead mentor-y aunt)
