I wonder if any boats with a traditional long keel have been affected? I'd expect that arrangement to be even less attractive to an orca given there's no gap between the rudder and keel.

I haven't heard of any Orca success with either skeg-hung or long keel boats. A big "new" development in sailboat design is dropping the skeg on rudders for better sailing performance and lower cost even on blue-water sail boats. And also going with twin fin rudders, so more targets on a single boat for Orca's to play with. So faster and cheaper but far less safe.
