What upstate NY looked like from my first early FS in Sept. 2003. Very white below but not snow.

At the time, I had a current medical so I was flying legally as a private pilot.... but illegally in an unregistered overweight Firestar.... which was pretty common at the time, but still illegal.
So far, my only encounter with the FAA as an active pilot has been a single ramp check after a night IFR flight in a Piper Cherokee landing at Hays, KS. The FAA met me (and the instructor) at the airplane as I was unloading and asked for papers. All in order with no consequences. He was very polite and friendly. I try to stay legal these days so no "on top" flying anymore.

I did once, in the T-Craft. I knew the ceiling was at least 1000' underneath so I did a spin to get down through.

Oh..., is that what you meant by getting "caught on top"?
In that case, no. However, the day after my FAA ramp check, I flew up through a small hole and flew on top of solid overcast for about 100 miles to land somewhere in Colorado where it was CAVU, which I knew before departure and had 50 gallons of fuel on board.

Came close once in my ultralight back in TX. I got down through a hole by doing a tight spiral descent.
After that the only time I've gone "VFR on top" is if I can keep a large open patch nearby and there's a decent temp/dewpoint spread.
Overcasts like this are extremely rare where I fly now so don't run into it that much....
