I found the "lets pretend like there is no input latency" thing to be more distracting than useful. As soon as something does not work as expected the illusion is broken. It made me more grumpy than not having it on in the first place.
I had the opposite experience. I have worked remotely without mosh. The choppiness of responses was more distracting than pretending that the network will always be reliable.
