I love it, but it does not work for everyone
I have my own separate office in my basement with plenty of privacy. I stick to a normal work schedule. And perhaps often overlooked: my team is all remote as well.
The last point is important: if your team is both on and off site, it can be difficult to make sure everyone is included in all the casual information sharing. My team uses a shared Teams chat as a low friction water cooler, which works great for us.
We often jump on a voice call with screen sharing too work together. It works even better than in person because we can both have our own computers instead of one person looking over the other person's shoulder.
If you have a good manager, they may be able to mitigate this, but it's more difficult than it sounds. If not handled correctly, this can lead to team segmentation and isolation. Working hybrid can sometimes get around this while still being flexible enough that people can wfh when they need to. For any business it needs to be the decision of the direct managers so they can decide what is right for their team.
That all said, I love not having the 1.5hr commute anymore, no walk-in interruptions, being able to run errands or go to appointments without taking the whole day off etc. It's a major part of my job satisfaction.
If your commute is reasonable and you get satisfaction from going to the office then maybe you're happier on site or hybrid. Full time wfh can be lonely at times.
If you hate going in to the office, make sure your environment at home is set up so you can focus and work as effectively as at the office and give it a shot. Talk to your manager. You may need to convince them it's a good idea first.
