? A replacement for Col regs at night. Any use especially 17.2 ? Any one made use of them, a good idea?

Perhaps the OP might have got more interest if he had made clear what he was referring to as rather obscure …. https://www.sailing.org/tools/documents/2019AppendixRV30112019.docx-[25856].pdf

I recently sailed a race with this modification to RRS 17:
"with the addition of: From sunset to sunrise, when two boats are on the same tack within three overall lengths (of the larger boat) of each other, the boat being overtaken shall maintain her proper course. The overtaking boat shall keep clear, and neither boat shall bear away toward, nor luff, the other. (see the International Regulations for Prevention of Collision at Sea)"
This kind of change is pretty common in races i do - usually with wording similar to that.
I have not seen an explicit invocation of Appendix RV
My experience is that it is not a big deal - i do occasionally see it come into play.., particularly where the some feature of the course causes boats to come together.., but usually everyone just plays nice...
mostly in a distance race if you are screwing with another boat.., you are losing... so don't do it.

How is this different from colregs applying at night...overtaking boat keeps clear?

The Colregs don’t cover things like mark rounding, sailing proper course etc which are covered in here
