Judging by the low prices of production manuals and stimulators in MTS, and their absence from FM, I would say very very few.There's a huge difference between Maker and the Forging NPCs, and that is the crystals. If graded jewels did not exist, then yeah, it's a totally pointless skill. However, because of this, we now have an amazing degree of customization possible. A great example I can think of is high level archer armor. HP's always a concern for high level archers. With this skill system in place, not only can we get 5 STR and 5 DEX above average on our overall, but we can also toss on a jewel for HP. Now, 30 HP may not seem like much, but if you had 30 on your overall and gloves and shoes... You can see where I'm going with this. Granted with the presence of a lot of the equips available in GMS (Bosshunter Armor, Facestompers, and so on) this may not be as useful as it is in KMS, but it's certainly going to be a great help.
The only concern is if people don't understand it in GMS as well.
