Yes, at least in the Netherlands it is generally accepted that employees can use your device personally, too.
Using a device owned by your company to access your personal GMail account does NOT void your legal right to privacy.
So does nobody in Europe use an EDR or intercepting proxy since GDPR went into force?
I have found a definite answer from the Dutch Protection Agency (although it could be out of date).

What’s the definitive answer? From what I can tell that document is mostly about security risks and only mentions privacy compliance in a single paragraph (with no specific guidance). It definitely doesn’t say you can or can’t use one.

You can do it but you'd have to have a good case for it to trump the right to privacy.
It's not as simple as in the US where companies consider everything on company device their property even if employees use it privately.
