In my poor experience I often saw tantalum for timing net in old design... But in modern days low Esr or np caps can do the job right...
They where used for size capacitance ratio in that days and the duration over time...
I tried them also long the signal path, but distortion was my first discovery even if someone declared they have a wider freq. Response and fast charge.
Conflict minerals is one of the good reason to not use them nowadays
