OSB is widely used. Just like plywood though it comes in varying grades.
Typically it's covered with a vapor barrier like tyvex to protect from moisture. No doubt there's always stronger ways to build something. I'd like it if my house was all steel framed.
The previous house I bought was built by a reputable production builder and we never had any issues. There's a number of quality production builders in my area. When making what will likely be the largest purchase in your life, it pays to do your homework.
IMHO the shoddiest work is usually the finishing work - not anything structural. Thankfully that stuff is usually easy to fix.
