Yes, I had one contract job where we agreed on communicating editing
comments & questions via the yellow highlighting & sticky-note option in
PDF. My coworker and I both loved it. You see highlighting, you click it,
there is the comment and you make your correction. You could also view all
comments in the left pane.
I thought it was best to select ONE method and stick with that, rather than
learning & using the whole gamut of markup options.
Even though I agree that it's tedious to write a comment about a period, a
comma, or a capitalized letter, it's useful in that the person on the
receiving end has the opportunity to LEARN more about correct writing from
your markups rather than receiving them unknowingly -- and, I hope, produce
fewer errors in the future.
I have never seen sticky notes move from where I put them.

I have found them useful for some purposes (such as
substantive comments) and tedious for minor copyediting like marking
punctuation errors.
