I've been WFH for 5 or so years, I have the uncanny ability to be able to work anywhere, anytime, a sort of mind switch that flicks itself - or doesn't, and then I'm screwed - irrespective of location, and then the surrounding world fades out when I am in my mental space.
I never had an issue with my partner or otherwise people being in the same space... until I had a kid. That changed everything, when our child is home I just stopped being able to not pay attention, even when they are in another room, and now I definitely see the - previously moot - benefit I would get from a dedicated room with a door + soundproofing.
As for the bedroom solution, that just would not work for me. My bedroom is a sanctuary: work - and any other cause of concern or otherwise stress - needs to stay out of it or my ability to sleep soundly - or at all - suffers greatly.
Regarding lighting, I set up the whole house with smart bulbs and set up Adaptive Lighting with Home Assistant, which also helped a lot with sleep issues.

To each his own I guess.
