As a physicist, I can tell you that almost none of us work with philosophers at all.

When I went to Uni a common pairing was "physics and philosophy". That was my chosen degree subject when I was in high school. I wanted to do particle physics.

In the end I loved (pure) maths more than philosophy so graduated with Theoretical Physics and Mathematics. There were probably a quarter of the physics students doing the Philosophy of Science module (the only things I remember covering were Aethers, Xeno's Paradox, maybe also the Realism of QM Interpretations [it was a couple of decades ago]).
