This is pretty much how I do most of my work these days (including some meetings, since audio and video remote devices work pretty well), except that I currently land in a corporate WVD cluster and not a dedicated instance.
It is so much better and hassle-free that I seldom give if a second thought anymore, and the “killer app” for corporate environments if I ever saw one.
(Works great on an iPad and with multiple monitors on a Mac, too).
