から is used very often but in more casual conversation.
Both ので/から are used regardless of the tense of the sentence.
The point I was trying to make is that Japanese-learners often use から even though the sentences they form tend to be at least semi-formal. I'm not necessarily saying it's "incorrect" to use から in those sentences but native listeners/readers rarely miss these and will feel "funny". You will feel the same if I used "'cuz" instead of "because" in a formal speech.
