This pretty much explains what the problem is: "Walk-in pantries are also some distance away from appliances and prep space, which can reduce efficiency when you’re cooking. Some homeowners prefer the convenience of having ingredients on hand in their kitchen."
As this article sees it, if you have a walk-in, it's likely to be some distance away from the "triangle" but you get more storage space. If you use a cabinet pantry, you can place the cabinet near or in the triangle but it probably won't have as much storage space.
It's a trade off. The only kitchens that I've seen that have been able to put a walk-in near the triangle are multi-million dollar homes that were completely gutted or super lucky unicorn homes.
I think if we do our best with "zoning" the kitchen and maybe add some food storage near the frig, it will help with traffic flow while we're working in the kitchen.
