I've run LRE over a 10 foot combination of barbed wire, coat hanger, and
Cat3 as a demonstration of just how resilient it is to "non-optimal"
media, and then ran IP Telephony over it just for the sake of doing it.
;-}
As for production work, the few LRE installs I've done have all been
well under 3500 feet. I would guess in the range of 300-1000 feet has
been typical as my customers usually had existing Cat3 for legacy phones
and didn't want the expense of more cable installation.

Subject: Long Reach Ethernet
Hello groupstudy,
Does anyone know if there is a minimum distance
physical limitation of long reach ethernet.
The only thing I find on CCO is 3500 feet and above. At our network, we
are running it on a telephone wire
that is less than 200 feet and I was wondering whether this could
actually be hindering performance. You
don't want to know the reasons of why this is being done, for it is
beyond the limits of rational thought. I
already had a TAC engineer check and they couldn't find anything [ yet ]
Any comments welcome.
