Default Kitchen Sink Traps

I am getting to the point where I need to consider the plumbing of our sink unit which will have a washing machine on one side and a dishwasher on the other. I am considering one of these for the two waste hoses

Any gotchas such as siphoning or other issues using this type of fitting? Currently the dishwasher feeds into something like with no particular issues. The washing machine feeds into a stand pipe type but because of the shape at the back it prevents it pushing all the way back and it is going to be awkward to place a similar type in the neighbouring cupboard.

I remember using one of these (or similar) in such arrangements,
presumably to replicate the air gap of the usual standpipe
setup...

I think it was mentioned in the then dishwasher destructions so
for a few quid I bunged one in in-line...
