I have seen it and used it, but I do not recommend it at all. I think we have all seen what duct tape looks like after it is exposed to the elements. I am not sure how the glue affects the fabric, but it attracts dirt, it is difficult to remove, and it will make the eventual cloth repair more costly. It is best to have some repair tape in a Ziploc and throw it in the bottom of your harness.
