I don't.  However, I find that using the easy templates (e.g. <s to
insert a src block, <c to insert a centred block, ...), akin to
latex-insert-block, does the equivalent and better (in my opinion, of
course ;-).  There isn't an entry for comment blocks but you can define
your own:

,----[ C-h v org-structure-template-alist RET ]
| org-structure-template-alist is a variable defined in `org.el'.
| Its value is shown below.
| 
| Documentation:
| Structure completion elements.
| This is a list of abbreviation keys and values.  The value gets inserted
| if you type `<' followed by the key and then press the completion key,
| usually `TAB'.  %file will be replaced by a file name after prompting
| for the file using completion.  The cursor will be placed at the position
| of the `?' in the template.
| There are two templates for each key, the first uses the original Org syntax,
| the second uses Emacs Muse-like syntax tags.  These Muse-like tags become
| the default when the /org-mtags.el/ module has been loaded.  See also the
| variable `org-mtags-prefer-muse-templates'.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
| 
| This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
| version 25.1 of Emacs.
| 
| 
| Value: (("n" "#+BEGIN_NOTES\n?\n#+END_NOTES")
|  ("a" "#+begin_ascii\n?\n#+end_ascii")
|  ("A" "#+ascii: ")
|  ("c" "#+begin_center\n?\n#+end_center" "<center>\n?\n</center>")
|  ("e" "#+begin_example\n?\n#+end_example" "<example>\n?\n</example>")
|  ("h" "#+begin_html\n?\n#+end_html" "<literal style=\"html\">\n?\n</literal>")
|  ("H" "#+html: " "<literal style=\"html\">?</literal>")
|  ("i" "#+index: ?" "#+index: ?")
|  ("I" "#+include %file ?" "<include file=%file markup=\"?\">")
|  ("l" "#+begin_latex\n?\n#+end_latex" "<literal style=\"latex\">\n?\n</literal>")
|  ("L" "#+latex: " "<literal style=\"latex\">?</literal>")
|  ("q" "#+begin_quote\n?\n#+end_quote" "<quote>\n?\n</quote>")
|  ("s" "#+begin_src ?\n\n#+end_src" "<src lang=\"?\">\n\n</src>")
|  ("v" "#+begin_verse\n?\n#+end_verse" "<verse>\n?\n</verse>")
|  ("w" "#+begin_whitebox\n?\n#+end_whitebox"))
| 
| Original value was 
| (("s" "#+BEGIN_SRC ?\n\n#+END_SRC")
|  ("e" "#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE\n?\n#+END_EXAMPLE")
|  ("q" "#+BEGIN_QUOTE\n?\n#+END_QUOTE")

|  ("l" "#+BEGIN_LaTeX\n?\n#+END_LaTeX")
|  ("L" "#+LaTeX: ")
|  ("h" "#+BEGIN_HTML\n?\n#+END_HTML")
|  ("H" "#+HTML: ")
|  ("a" "#+BEGIN_ASCII\n?\n#+END_ASCII")
|  ("A" "#+ASCII: ")
|  ("i" "#+INDEX: ?")
