The problem I've found with using batt insulation under houses is if animals have access to get under the house. They will often tear up the insulation.

I've used it before and to protect it from animals, stapled chicken wire to the bottom of the joists to keep animals out.

If I had a raised home now, I'd just go with foam.

LSU extension service has a great paper on this

looks like they charge a dollar for it now, I downloaded a few years ago and learned a lot, the pdf is free

Yes. I used batt insulation under every sq ft of my house within a month of moving in. Even on the back side of the house where the ground is higher and the joists are only 6" off the ground. Animals tore most of it down within the first year.
