And sometimes I will see them with more pieces on the board. But when you get to 16, the probe rate will begin to rise, and by the time you get to 8-10 pieces left, you are frying the disks full-speed... So if by "middlegame" you mean 16 pieces or less, then yes. I'd probably call that late middlegame since 1/2 the total material is gone. Or even early endgame depending on what pieces are still left.
