There's no reason why everything should happen on the same machine, hardware is relatively cheap. Don't shit where you eat; don't do your web browsing / videoconferencing / exploration of interesting new tools on the same machine from which you have privileged access to sensitive things. Virtualization is an option, but just buying an extra laptop might be more straightforward.

I suppose I could use HDMI capture and confine myself to sharing only full screens (which might suck for viewers at 4K res or require me to switch to 1080p on that screen), but for a lot of people there is perhaps more overlap between video conferencing and work than full segregation would support.

Separate profiles for personal trusted (banking), personal untrusted (browsing and social media), office/client work. 2) Separate laptop as VM host for development. Never pollute the host with third-party libraries or anything downloaded from the web, all that happens in disposable guests. 3) ssh and sftp from Chromebook to VMs as needed.
