Mmm yea I read up some more after asking, about PDR and the DIY attempts. Thinking about this on the minor dent on the Koga Miyata.
It's a FullPro Oval, so it's FM-1 ovalised like Columbus Max. I'm thinking it could be thin enough and small enough to work. However like your ask, I'd like to see some before/after success stories.
Steel tubing is thin, but I'd expect the strength is much greater than say car body panels because of the tubular characteristics, and that makes me think paint will come off before the dent is pulled.

It would probably chip the paint which could be touched up. This would be preferable to welding a rod in order pull the dent.
And more importantly no heat that may cause structural damage.
Steel tubing on modern bikes is ridiculously thin at points.
