Not that I know of, not surprising considering most Luka artists somewhat retired or announced a hiatus not long before her V4 got released, while some of them straight out ignored the V4 and kept using her previous voicebanks. I can't blame them, there's nothing appealing about her V4, and Luka is my favorite.

To me it appears Crypton completely misunderstood why Luka fans had Luka as a favorite and what they liked about her voice. In other words, what her real strengths were. If you pick Miku or other upgraded Vocaloid, you can easily sense and notice a logical continuity between her different updates; even better : you don't necessarily changes per se, especially when tuning is something that is subjective among artists. I could link different songs using her different voicebanks and most people wouldn't be able to perfectly pinpoint which version x or y song is using. In Luka's case, this is immediately recognizable, you can immediately recognize whether the V4 is used because it is too detached from what Luka used to sound like.

If I had to go deeper, I have a feeling Crypton tried hard to make Luka fit a certain genre of songs, such as songs made by Dixie Platine >>16215326, or songs like Hello Worker, and such. In other words, mainstream and popular pop artists Crypton love to feature in their concerts, all while ignoring 95% of the artists who'd love Luka for her melancholic, heartfelt and motherly voice.
