Oh, when I was a youngster composing at the piano, I frequently found myself to have written something in 5, quite inadvertantly. Once, I spent the better part of a week trying to notate something quite syncopated, which it only eventually, and to my horror, dawned on me was 5/4.
And one of my favorite pieces in Jr High band had every fifth measure in 5. :)
BTW, did you know there's a (common) interpretation of "Maravillosos" (13th c.) which has the refrain in 5?
I don't think of 12/8 as even vaguely exotic; but then, I was raised in classical piano, and I gather it's more common there.
