I just made the switch from 3 24 inch monitor to a single 49 inch super ultrawide. It's basically 3 monitors with no bezels. A lot of things are annoying though like full-screening videos/games but there are workarounds.
My biggest problem with 4k and ultra wide monitors is screen sharing (like on zoom/teams/WebEx etc).
Most people still have 1080p screens at best, so when someone with a 4k or ultra wide shares their screen, it's really tough to see what's going on.
My main display is a 4k TV, but if I have to share, I'm sharing a window, or one of my auxiliary (1080p) screens.
I've resorted to just sharing my laptop screen. You can also use picture by picture to get split displays which are easier to share.
