Of course the amount of "angling in to center" will depend on the size of the room as will the volume of each piece. I've also seen variations, like Joe Bonamassa who uses a similar angled wall setup, but he also screens off his amps while using an additional PA system and soundman to regulate the sound. But that setup seems to be more for a performance than "jamming". Of course I'm no expert, but just wanted to offer some ideas from my observations.

What you describe is what I had tried that worked well. I think there will be enough room for the drummer. He gonna be right up with the microphones, though.

So this is in my workshop and of the 20 x 22 dimensions, I have about 20 x 15 for usable space with the odd table in the way. It might have to do until until I get sound men, screens and monitors. :D I have thought about soundproofing the storage room and micing the amps from in there. Hmmm.

Thanks for the input. Info on this topic is pretty sparse.
