And what about being a digital nomad (where you change locations on average every 3 - 6 months)? Any particular conditions that would think this is a big no go?

I'd say it's about equal to, or maybe a slight improvement over, the the "team room" I was in before the open office where it was me and ~10 other engineers all working on generally the same categorical area of a product (in my case the hardware team).
The only thing that I could see possibly being an improvement would be an even smaller, very quiet room that is located within walking distance of my home where only my direct sub-team mates and I sit, they're all people I like, and we all have good "when it's okay to talk" etiquette.
