No floating is required anymore. O'scopes now have very good differential probes. I learned about floating scopes from a now-retired co-worker who designed TV flyback transformers back before I was even born. He always had a three prong to two prong " cheater" or isolation transformer in his toolkit for such things. Me? I either use differential probes, or two grounded probes and waveform math...or a newfangled battery powered scope\meter.
Isolation transformers are also not the best method of isolating noise from one circuit to another in all cases. Parasitic capacitance between windings will couple higher frequency noise right across. They may or may not be good noise filters. Depends on the spectral content of the noise and the magnetizing inductance, parasitic inductance and parasitic capacitance of the transformer...among other parameters.
Labs that do conducted emissions measurements and conducted immunity tests use a LISN or Line Impedance Stabilization Network to filter out noise from the device under test. There is usually an isolation transformer inline also to keep the phase to ground leakage current from the LISN's oversized "Y" (phase to ground) capacitors off of the building mains.

Today's Featured Article - Sunday Drives - by Cowboy. Summer was finally upon us here in Northern Maine. We have two types of industry up here, one being "Forestry" (Wood Products) and the other "Farming" (Potatoes). There is no shortage of farm tractors and equipment around here! I have been restoring old Farm Tractors for the past 6 years, and have found it easier and less expensive to hit all the auctions and purchase whole tractors for parts needed. My wife who works at a local school, and only has weekends and summers off, while on t
