Preindustrial Craftsmanship 
These actually address a concern I have about mobile living ( vardos , vans , ships ) , have you come across plans ? When you google “workbenches” I seem to find only monstrous clutter catchers ( yes , I spent a number of years in the wood butcher trades ).
There are plenty out there but maybe a little harder to find as, like you said, everybody is obsessed with big benches right now. Look HERE.
I was rather thinking of the advertisements of the old “chest / desk ” combos , but that ( the v bench ) is certainly part of the required repertoire , I’ve having ” double duty” in mind.
I just had a thought of a kitchen island form on deploy-able casters for movement , and went to google the notion ( I’m hardly innovative ) , and I find if it’s good enough , it’s made into fine furniture : https://www.pinterest.com/ruthiejayne/work-benches/
