The downside of this is that you are not around in the office in case
someone wants to talk to you. I often end up with guys from our
operations team or other teams stopping at my desk and ask questions. Or
guys who want to have a quick chat about a problem and want to ask for
an advice or idea. Or people who want to learn Perl and have a question
that you can answer in 30 seconds.

Which really stops being practical once you exceed (approx) one building
in size.

I think it often depends on how you define practical. Normally, you sit with your own team, that means it is a practical solution for the network engineers, but perhaps not for the server admins and the network engineers anymore, since the server admins may sit in a different building, different city, different continent, ....
