Never had laundry in the kitchen, but sure, why not? Sounds OK to me, and spacious. That said, I don't cook much but if I did I might change my opinion.
Our vacation rentals in Europe had a small washer unit in the kitchen. Never a dryer. But we don't care; prefer to hang up most stuff anyway. Except sheets, that was a hassle (brought our own string, lol).
Beats having them outside on the balcony, like down here!
Yes, our 1950 house had the washer and dryer in the kitchen; so did our 1953 house. Our 1970s apartment had a stacked unit in the kitchenette.
I'm not a fan; if a meal conincides with a washer cycle you'll have to stop the machine to be able to hear yourselves talk at the kitchen table, then you have to remember to restart the machine.
Well, of course this doesn't even rise to the level of first-world problem, but all else being equal (which it never is) I'd rather have the machines in a utility room with a door that closes, than six feet away from my breakfast table. Then they can run any time.

No, and I wouldn't like that. We need as much kitchen space as we can get, and while the modern dishwasher is quiet, laundry is not. Our current house is ideal, a laundry room that's 8'x10, and a door that closes so you don't hear it. We have the washer and dryer, a laundry tub sink, and a big upright freezer in there. In our first two houses it was in the garage, which is not great but better than in the kitchen.

I just do a load of laundry after dinner time that way all the dishes are done and put away and then the chore of laundry begins.
Id rather do it after dinner anyway, like I am actually doing right now. Dinner is done, I'm sitting here typing, the washer is going and there is a nice dry breeze from the window so the clothes will dry good on the clothesline tonight. Tomorrows chore after dinner is to take them in and fold them, and folding them on the kitchen table is nice and easy.
