Have you ever tried that? For me, the lag was the tiniest bit perceptible and was enough to make me sick

To each their own, but I do it every day, nearly. I’m using wifi 6 though, so that might be the difference. 2.4Ghz might not be sufficient. There’s also very likely local faking on the device (Quest 3) that can rotate your vision before the new data arrives.

Either way, it’s pretty alright nowadays, at least in my experience.

Though time in the seat *might* be making it easier for me.

This is how most consumer vr used to be before the (oculus) quest, and it worked fine. The data path was massive with base stations etc. A lot of people did get motion sick, but its probably more to do with framerate, one would have thought

Played Half-Life Alyx this way entirely on a Quest 2, and I have gotten sick in VR, but I had no problem with it.

The technology has actually gotten better since I last spent a significant amount of time with it.
