get an Apple Vision Pro (if you have a mac). The screen mirroring feature allows you to effectively have the same set up no matter where you work. I was thinking about re-vamping my whole office setup (monitor, desk, chair, etc) before moving into working in the AVP mostly full time. Went with the latter and haven't looked back.

More alpha on the Vision Pro as monitor.  You're having a solid time with it @morereese.  This is building up as good news as I hear more positive experiences with it.

This is great great news!
As you point out - when looked through the expenditure lens of large monitors, this is not an expensive purchase.  

Any problems with multi-hour sustained work within the headset?

Totally. I was ready to return it as the visionOS-native apps weren't compelling enough to justify the price for me but after integrating the mac mirroring capability into my day-to-day that justified the price for me (especially considering the $2k+ price point for monitors I was looking at)
