I've worked in two open offices and, yeah, I largely hated it. One was just to enable micromanagement and prevent you from taking any breaks. The other was the opposite, in a very small company, having far too many distractions from music to complete nonsense conversations.

I've now moved to a fully remote role and we get far more done. No distractions and a tidy environment (my home) to think. The "random interactions" occur in group chats and the odd meet-up. Mixing the right people is sufficient and the setting is largely irrelevant.
