It's happened with only 4-motor drives as well.
I personally tripped it in 4 matches during my time as a driver. We also tripped it twice this year. In both cases we had a 4-motor 2-speed drive that was traction limited in low gear.
In other cases, we've seen battery cables heat up and become sticky, and also melted a few robot-side battery connectors (they're only rated for 50a) on practice robots (even with cool-down times between batteries). We used 4-gauge robot-side battery cables to hopefully improve this, and did not melt anything this year.
