You're working with small number statistics here. With this small a
sample, and considering how said planet ended up being tilted, I'd
call it reasonably rare, if not fairly uncommmon.
You can probably extrapolate by examining the moon systems of the
gas giants, applying what you find there to planets around other
stars.
