I highly doubt it. It's only good at stopping storm, and Mindbreak Trap is almost always going to be better. Storm decks in Modern fold to it, and in Legacy, Storm decks generally don't play Force of Will. All other kinds of disruption are going to hit both cards equally (Silence, Thoughtseize, etc.).
Generally, versus fair decks, clearing the stack is worthless. Most of the time, your opponent will cast a creature (or something of that nature), pass priority, and you will either counter it or let it resolve.
I've seen Counterflux overloaded to counter Jace, Architect of Thought's ultimate ability.
In Standard, that's really the only time ever that the overload will be relevant. In Modern, it counters storm.

When I played epic experiment in standard, I got blown out once by an overloaded counterflux when I flashbacked increasing vengeance'd a devil's play for 17, since you have to hold priority when you cast it (or bluff and try to bait out a counterspell...)
The best use I've found for it is to counter a living end through ricochet trap. It doesn't really do anything against storm as if they're actually going off they can just grapeshot again.

I've never seen it happen and I'm curious, not just a fun game, a serious tournament game.

Counterflux can only counter spells....
EDIT: LOL, I probably should've looked at Jace's ultimate before posting.
