FWIW, it's not uncommon in my field (discrete mathematics).  In particular,
there are proofs that rely on very large but finite case bashes, and these
are often done with the help of a computer (in particular, mathematical
software).  In this sense, the software contributes directly to the proof
of a theorem.
