Been there, done that. It has quite a few nasty side effects. You easily end 
up also sending work related e-mail from a non-corporate account, for example 
when you forward an email from a WG list to a colleague at work. That's 
against many companies' internal policies. Thinks about consequences for 
example during legal actions, when the opposing party wants to discover all 
mail related to a particular topic. Does using a parallel server amounts to 
willful hiding of documents? Are you in contempt of court? Should you store 
your personal mail on company server so it can be searched? Bottom line, 
that's indeed not a choice I like much either.

Well, no, neither do I, but I did it at IBM and I do it now with my university
affiliation, for practical reasons that are nothing to with DMARC. And no finger
pointing here, but it's obvious that a good fraction of IETF participants do
so too, and have done for years.
