Sounds similar to my work setup these days.  I have a touchdown office that is basically hoteling space if I happen to be in the office for something, but that is very rare.  I only go int once a month or so to pickup monthly bills that I have to approve and send to AP.

I use my main personal PC for work using VDI.  I have (3) of my displays on my work VDI, and (2) that I reserve for everything else.  I use my work laptop for video calls/meetings, and the bluetooth headset (which is my own personal one) can do (2) connections at the same time, so I am on both for audio.  I also have a Blue Yeti professional microphone on a boom so I sound like a radio broadcaster when on calls.  :)
