I wrote a DOS VNC client in 1999 for my ThinkPad 720 (to access my Sun workstation at work from home), so my mileage varies. ;-)
We had lower screen resolutions and color depths then, but also slower connections. I've used VNC quite a bit over the years but admittedly, for working from home I used ssh (because it was sufficient and I use vi). FWIW, practicality greatly depends on your type of work. Typing text in an IDE and running the occasional debug session should be no problem due to the way screen updates are transmitted, anything graphics-heavy will be frustrating.
