Matter of taste, I like to keep my distance. I don't want to ask my guests to take off their shoes in the pouring rain or to always carry a mop around...
In our case, this situation arose automatically due to the necessary size and sensible arrangement of the rooms. Elsewhere, it would have disturbed/interrupted the flow/deformed rooms. But I don’t find that dramatic now. There are also doormats. On which you can take off your shoes without any imposition.
