And you want as much symmetry in the room as possible, too.
In reality, you may not be able to put yoru mixing desk out that far into the room, and there may be non-symmetrical aspects to the room, so you work with what you have and do the best you can.
BTW, it's easy to make 4" rockwool bass traps that hang on the wall, and can can be removed to be used as gobos to isolate mics from room noise/shield amps or drums when recording.

Can you elaborate more on a mixing space vs a recording space.
Also, If the the best place in a room to monitor is 38% into the room, would that space also be the best location for mic placement to record in
