pre-1916, voluntary and informal land use rules were how neighbors made sure they balanced the quiet enjoyment of their home with regional productivity. zoning didn’t exist in america.
however, the invention of the automobile made it so that people no longer lived near their work, and businesses began encroaching on neighborhoods.
in a town where everyone lives and works in the same place (and thus has strong incentives not to build factories in neighborhoods), this could work… but that type of neighborhood looks a lot like the “15 minute cities” that most Bitcoiners are strongly opposed to.

I think the objection is more about it being forced on people than the design specifics. At least based on the post about car vs foot people yesterday, I'd say most prefer to have amenities within walking distance.
