In general I also agree with this one, however I think that if a team really wants to enforce this, then at the very minimum should suggest the IDE to use and the settings to automatically correct formatting.

I suggest implementing a linter/formatter tool to be used with a pre-commit hook, so that it runs automatically and checks for this stuff automatically, avoiding you having to do it manually (mostly)

Yes, that is a given. I've never worked in a corporate environment where they didn't have a chosen IDE (from the small 4 employee company to the large multi-national defense conglomerate). Usually the company has an enterprise license, or at least will buy another seat/transfer a license when they hire a new dev.
