I worked at a security startup where installing Slack/email on our personal phones (BYOD policy) was possible via an MDM (but was optional, we weren't forced). I don't know every detail, but many of our engineers were naturally spooked and did lots of checking to make sure no packets flowed to the VPN from apps not within the MDMs control (just slack and mail).
I personally was fine with this as I don't want to carry two devices, I like being able to check in via Slack (especially if I was on call), and we had several folks who had our security/IT team under a lot of scrutiny proving this wasn't overly invasive.
It helped that we were a small startup, so our IT and security teams were 20 feet away :)
