I've had this exact setup for nearly a decade. Sometimes Slack (or Google Chat) ends up on desktop four.

It really cuts down on distractions.

It’s cool to see others have ended up with similar setups. Desktop four started as either a vm or vnc/rdp client for software that wouldn’t run locally. So that’s why it remains as the catch-all.

For me it housed mocp (later Spotify) and a GUI file manager on occasion. It's nice to leave the first three desktops clean.
