The only time I've personally seen @ as a replacement of gendered a/o in Spanish is in an alternate spelling of "EZLN Para Tod@s Todo", a song by Manu Chao. I think I once wrote to a Latin American trans person on the matter, and they said that @ is commonly seen as somewhat dated and awkward.
It's a bit dated. The @, sometimes written o(a) is a very 90s thing. Most people would likely remember it from their early school years.
For some reason I thought it was more of a '00s thing than a '90s thing...
It definitely survived into the early 2000s, but not long after.
