If you strictly limit notifications it's okay. I'm fine with being notified of a critical bug or problem when I'm at home, and happy to grab my laptop to help. Even if sometimes it turns out to not be so critical or important.

But if you, unlike me, actually have hobbies or planned activities for your free time, deleting might be better.

A phone is already a phone. It can be called for emergency.

Notifications can't all be disabled. You're at the mercy of any message from a dude who's at the office 2 hours before or after you.

Unlike a phone call, people don't realize that a slack messages is disruptive and require you to be online 24/7.
