I know some simple pieces where the initial phrase starts in the IV chord or the V chord, but I'm wondering if Bach used to do that.

Generally speaking Bach likes to establish the home key chord at the beginning of his pieces, but I did find some exceptions on a cursory look through my scores. For example, in Book II of the keyboard Partitas, the Courante of No. 5 has an upbeat based
on the dominant. And the Gigue of the same Partita does something similar, with the home key chord of G only happening on the second beat of the first full bar. I am sure with a far fuller investigation, many more examples could be found.
In the Courante, do you mean the first three 16th notes? That is interesting in and of itself. But it is more of a decoration for the next G. I'm looking for more of a phrase in a different chord, like in Dark Eyes: youtu.be/LSX-79rwKGE
