This is really interesting. I’ve been thinking of getting into a VR setup for productivity and collaboration. Would you mind sharing some details about your hardware/software setup? Any pitfalls or difficulties you’ve run into? Motion sickness?
Pretty standard setup. I use a Quest 2 and the Input font (input . djr . com). I do most of my work related stuff in Immersed or Workrooms.
I also do daily workouts and meditation every morning before I start work, all in VR.
I haven't had any motion sickness yet.
The only difficulty I have run into is my bad eyesight. I have found the prescription lenses inserts from Reloptix to be the best, for me at least.
Which Headset? I’d love to do this but most VR owners say the DPI is still not there for small text and it’s too cumbersome to keep wearing for hours.
I use the Quest 2, but there are a lot of important things to note. You have to use the right fonts to get text to be crisp/clear enough. I use the Input font, I've mentioned it a few times here.
The biggest problem with wearing it for hours is comfort. The strap that comes with the Quest 2 is not good enough. You will feel the weight of it on your cheeks the most, it will get sore pretty quickly. You have to upgrade. I use a halo strap from VR Panda, it solves that problem for me.

with the quest 2 i think it is getting close to 1080p screen
We need a few desktop screens up for information, a big whiteboard, and the ability to see each others screens. With Immersed and Horizon Workrooms we get all of that already. Before workrooms was really stable we were using Immersed and keeping Mural (white boarding) up on one of our desktops together.
