If you're not doing production work, you might find a hand scraper

Does anybody use a plane for tasks like this?

Absolutely, when I feel I will get better results, mainly due to the
wood and grain, by doing so.

On face frames, door and drawer frames, and other butt joins, I will
often start with a low angle block plane to get close enough to not
affect the adjoining piece, and maybe a card scraper, then follow up
with the appropriate sanding to get it to the final finished state.

It's never all brute sanding.
