parentheses/brackets
I have never done so. I avoid saying never, but after this many books, it's unlikely.
What I use instead is an—em dash—because the eye slides over it. In contrast, (parentheses) & [brackets] are closer to a dead stop.
It’s about psychology, pacing, & the reader experience, like commas, periods, white space, & so on. In another genre, or in more formal writing my answer might differ.
