Pretty common, yeah. I know I've used it, I've heard it around, I see it in movies/tv/books sometimes.... So I'd say it's decently common. Obviously some people never use it and some people use it all the time, but that's true of all phrases. It's a decently common one though.

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand

If I may add onto the other person’s answer, I would also say that “one” is typically not used in casual conversation!! A more daily life way to say it would be “up someone’s alley”! Referring to people as “one” can sound pretty formal, I hardly ever hear it used outside of essays or other speech-like situations
