Of course. After less than 20 hours from the original post that was the only 
possible assumption. I guess everyone have to, voluntarily and promptly, 
provide the answers that you need.

I personally know at least 10 administrators that use the CBacula 9/11 version 
Cloud driver in different sectors. It also works in one of my lab machines: 

... 
baculacommunity-sd: init_dev.c:152-0 Num drivers=15 
baculacommunity-sd: init_dev.c:165-0 loadable=1 type=14 loaded=0 name=cloud 
handle=0 
baculacommunity-sd: init_dev.c:432-0 loadable=1 type=14 loaded=0 name=cloud 
handle=0 
baculacommunity-sd: init_dev.c:437-0 Open SD driver at 
/opt/bacula/plugins/bacula-sd-cloud-driver-9.6.6.so 
baculacommunity-sd: init_dev.c:440-0 Driver=cloud handle=7f9e24001250 
baculacommunity-sd: init_dev.c:442-0 Lookup "BaculaSDdriver" in driver=cloud 
baculacommunity-sd: init_dev.c:444-0 Driver=cloud entry point=7f9e2b61ccf0 
baculacommunity-sd: htable.c:67-0 malloc buf=7f9e36697038 size=1000000
