Wow, this is a deep dive. My experience on VIA is mostly limited to a once-per-year round trip between Toronto and Ottawa. We now almost always splurge on Business for our sanity, it's not crazy expensive if booked well in advance.
I've not seen that enclosed 4-person booth in the wild before. It appeals to me, not because I plan to sit there, but because it might shield the other passengers from listening to 5 hours of loud conversation from the group at that table, which is often the case, especially after a few rounds of caesars.

I can't say that it makes conversation quieter but it definitely provides visual privacy!
