I use it all the time in academic research, in the first person, both singular and plural.
In Spoken English, we always use the short form of "Will" or "Shall", so let's say "we will/shall go to school", we just say "We'll go to school." As I heard from English teacher, shall is not a popular english in the world, because the short form of "shall not" is "shan't" which is not popular word anymore.....we just use "won't" to intead of it, so most of the time, we should use "will"...not "shall"...

If you have just conquered a kingdom, you would say, "This kingdom shall fall." Neither "should" nor "will" delivers the same strength or meaning.
