There are indeed. List member Tyler Boley comes to mind:

Also list member Amadou Diallo:

Also, there is Ron Landucci:

And there are dozens of others. My local pro-lab has a LightJet on which 
they run B&W paper (not fiber, but an RA-4 RC paper from Kodak, until 
they run out of it) a couple of times a week. These B&W prints should 
have the same lightfastness of Fuji Crystal Archive color papers, but 
perhaps not a lot more since they are dye based prints.

Hope this gets you started.
