I never thought of using work profile this way. How does it affect usability? Like you have to turn on work profile whenever you want to use the apps?
The biggest friction point for me is the fact that files can only cross the work profile boundary by using the Android's share sheet (or with cloud storage, I guess), and some apps (cough cough Meta crap) didn't like it when you shared a file they couldn't directly access with them. I didn't encounter any such issues recently though.
If you pause the work profile (there's a button in the launcher to do that), all apps in it get killed and their icons and widgets in the launcher get grayed out. If you tap a grayed out icon, you get a dialog asking you if you want to unpause work apps. I think there are ways to automate pausing, but I don't use anything like that and literally only have the pause/unpause button as a toggle for the intrusive apps.
