All of these represent costs that a co-located team doesn't bear. A co-located team is most effective, and every remote saps some of their effectiveness. This is well understood everywhere: it's why companies dedicate remote offices to particular projects.
Google even has a name for this: "defragmenting," where they attempt to reduce the amount of remote work by giving engineers opportunities to move, or to switch to a local project.
I would consider a remote job, but only on a 100% remote team. It's mixed teams that I want to avoid.
