First, I completely acknowledge the usefulness of putting yourself in a dedicated space for the task of work, helping you to train your mind to focus on work things at work time, and hopefully only at work time.
Don't get me wrong, coworking (without an expensive private office) has major downsides, I would love to not have to set up my workspace and tear it down (complete with portable monitor, and keyboard and mouse), and also to not have to lug all this heavy stuff with me daily, but my move was out of sheer necessity because of how loud and disruptive little kids are in the afternoon. The setup/teardown waste 5 minutes daily, but interruptions wasted hours.
What I've learned is just that we've each got to find a way to work within the options available to us. With an infinite budget I'd build a super nice 10x20 office in my backyard, but tbh the proximity to a well-meaning little kid who craves my attention would still limit the effectiveness of that plan.
