No, I don't think Rohan has ever used his Stand for petty purposes - or, at least, if he has, not much. He claims that he doesn't like most people (Koichi seems to be his only friend, even helping to write in Italian language skills when the former goes to Italy to check up on Giorno) and that he became a mangaka not for money but to satiate his urge for creativity.

Like, even though he writes into Koichi on his debut "I cannot attack Kishibe Rohan", he states that he doesn't want to write anymore because it would make Koichi's "reality" too fake, and he values 'reality' in his work, regardless of how fantastical his stories may be.

Now that I'm writing this, I'm realizing Rohan really is an interesting character. He's not one of my favourites - he's too much of a dick for that, and hated Josuke for little to no reason even before Josuke's cheating inadvertently led to his house being burned down (to which he said that he didn't care about it because he was so rich, but you could tell he DID care) - but I bet the reason Araki features him so prominently in the 'JoJo' spin-offs is because his perspective is at once fresh ('cos he doesn't like to involve himself too much in Stand incidents; just continuously writing his manga even when Made in Heaven happened and he wasn't affected) and developed.
