It is true that because we are bound by our limitations as humans, we communicate, build and maintain trust, etc. better in person. There are studies that have shown that without direct face to face contact, trust gradually erodes.
But iirc a related study showed the relative effectiveness of voice or video communication, or once or twice a month face time holding back this trust erosion. So while complete remote work may actually have real detriments, it should be feasible to mitigate these drawbacks.
