Yes and no. There's a certain amount of passive communication that you.miss out when you're isolated from a team environment. A good team can mitigate this, however, by advocating regular group water-coolers and voice calls / screen-shares rather than emails or teams messages to get or deliver info. Getting a random teams call from a team member is not much different from them scooting their chair over to you.

I'm a huge advocate of letting people work how they are most happy. Some people like office, some like home. Just let people do their thing and figure out how to make it work. If we force people to work within a system that doesn't suit them then you lose out on acquiring good talent and will hemorrhage the talent you have.

I agree with all of what you wrote. I even think having a couple of fixed days a week where it is encouraged to meet at the office, is also helpful. Personally, I go to the office whenever I need social stimuli, and I'm not overloaded with work.
