I'll probably switch out their bunk bed/desks for a queen, anticipating at some point they will have partners they want to bring, but I would be very reluctant to alter them beyond that.

...except I really need a home office where I can close the door. Hence wanting to transition the room. A full-size bed would never truly fit. So either just a new regular twin bed or twin daybed. My DD is moving out in the fall....her room will stay the same with solid wood neutral queen bedroom set. Plus other guest bedroom with two twin beds. I really don't need another guest room - what I need is a "she-cave" office area. I might just do a desk for now and see how it goes.

...and perhaps add a daybed that looks more like this:

The room still has the space-themed wallpaper border from when my DS was a child LOL. First order of business is repainting into a neutral adult room but that's another post altogether - choosing color scheme for room with chair rails.

I think that one you linked there is great, and doesn’t look childish, and especially won’t with the right decor. I would love to have this setup in a home office.

It's more functional too as you could use it daily, too. Daybeds are really deep so I don't think I'd enjoy sitting on it while working. As you said, you already have another dedicated guest room, so this is more like extra, extra sleeping options.

I agree with this. We had a daybed in my home office, with a pop-up trundle underneath, and it worked for guests but it was otherwise useless.
