Balanced connections were originally designed for long cable runs many years ago, and recording studios&live sound still use them to this day where there is no control on the environment.
I will add that equipment/system ground issues should not be confused with environmental ones.
There are several benefits that are interleaved. In a balanced system ground is ignored so even if there are ground loops they don't get amplified.
Ground loops don't always manifest as a hum or buzz. They might show up as addition IMD when a signal is present.
Not sure what you mean by 'environment' but many studios employ power conditioning, which really has nothing to do with how effective the use a balanced lines will be.
