There’s much more. Search “sensemaking” or “immersive analytics” on Scholar. Depth and width of field, achieved via stereoscopy and tracking, is well documented as a performance enhancer when it comes to generalizeable task completion in VR.

That seems to be describing a single type of task which is not what 95% of time is spent on by professionals in a work environment. This seems akin to a whiteboard session which traditionally is solved by just grabbing a whiteboard for an hour. But then you're not comparing VR to a monitor but VR to a physical whiteboard.
