Depends on the type of game, I play flight sims, elite dangerous, no mans sky and project cars 2 - no need to shuffle furniture with those.

There are actually no quality games that really require you to stand.

I have a dream that we'll see a good quality dungeon crawler I can play coop locally with the kids, that's immersive enough to warrant standing, but I don't see it happening.

Honestly that's true, the closest I've found is PavlovVR which is a lot of fun but it's not an AAA quality game.

That said as someone who loves space/flight and driving games VR is an unalloyed win for me.

Beat Saber?
Haha, no. Half Life Alyx, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, Thrill of the Fight, Beat Saber, Audica, Dance Central VR, Fallout 4 VR, Superhot VR, and so many more.
There is also VTOL VR which is a flight sim/game that uses the VR controllers and put all controls in the VR space so no need to have an HOTAS lying around.

For other sims I have to set up the HOTAS on my desk which leads to a little bit of shuffling around.
