Here's a section of the one I'm working on right now.
This is almost entirely done with Parcel labels, except for the roadway centerline, which is done with General Line/Curve labels. I also use General Notes with Reference Text for some of the parcel areas, since Parcel Area Labels have this obnoxious tendency to constantly reset themselves to their original location.
This kind of illustrates that plats are largely possible with Civil-3D Parcels, but the amount of effort required makes it a questionable task to perform in Civil-3D. If it's faster and easier to do in Land Desktop, then why should anyone spend all that time and effort and aggravation learning and then fighting Civil-3D?
And it's not just the design of Parcels which is insufficient - the design of the Parcel Labels is pretty bad. The number of styles required to accomplish this using Parcel Labels is ridiculous. For a while, it seemed the aggravation might have something to do with our lack of experience with Civil-3D, and it seemed that once we had done enough and had enough styles setup, we would start getting faster. But the design of Parcel Labels slows the process of labeling these plats down to a crawl, not to mention there are so many Styles that they become completely unmanageable.
