Please advice if I can re-enter Canada from USA without visa if I have valid Canada work permit.
Also, has anyone travelled like that recently? I want to be 100% sure before I travel to USA like that.

You can, as long as you don't leave the USA. I did it many times.

Yes you can travel to US.

Visit the link below for information on CIC website:

Here id the relevant extract:

I have a temporary resident visa. Can I leave Canada and come back?

Single-Entry Temporary Resident Visa

If you have a single-entry temporary resident visa, you will generally need a new visa to come back to Canada.
You can request to return to Canada on your original single-entry temporary resident visa, if:
you will only visit the U.S. or St. Pierre and Miquelon; and
you will return to Canada before the end of your approved stay in Canada.

Multiple-Entry Temporary Resident Visa

Yes, you can come back to Canada, if you have a multiple-entry temporary resident visa and it has not expired.

Expired Temporary Resident Visa

You can ask to come back to Canada on your original temporary resident visa, even if it is expired, if:
you will only visit the U.S. or St. Pierre and Miquelon, and
you will return to Canada before the end of your approved stay in Canada.

An officer will make sure you meet all the requirements before allowing you to come back to Canada. If you visit any country other than those listed above, you will need a new temporary resident visa.
