I hate to call it out, but, isn’t that table stakes? Blending work and personal environments should be an obvious no. Are employers out there ok with this?

Big employers (at least the ones I know) aren't regarding work, I guess with smaller ones it maybe is, especially with BYOD?

I think the issue probably isn't uncommon for freelancers/contractors too.

Hobby and personal stuff I think a lot of people mix, I don't use the machine where I do bank/tax/etc stuff for hobby work, but I'm not sure that's common.

I used to work at Google where all computers were militantly segregated from non work stuff. Now I run a little non profit robotics org with one other person, and when I work from home I just use my personal desktop with no separation.

It depends on where you work, how much people will care and whether there are resources to do anything about it.
