I did today - I was hanging out with two friends in Australia. We used the free game Rec Room and all had Oculus headsets.

What I find great about VR is the directional source of the voice - you can talk over each other in a group setting and not miss anything, unlike video chat.

It is still uncomfortable for longer periods though. And you still have to find a time when everyone is free

Mumble seems to support positional audio in voice chat, maybe that alone is sufficient.
