I can only speak as a manager who a) has a tech background, and b) deliberately founded a remote-only company, but it's really not that bad. With a good video provider (we use zoom) we barely even notice any friction. If you commit and take it seriously, there are solutions for almost everything. The most challenging part I would say is the sort of freewheeling collaborative brainstorming type meetings, and the sort of random overheard serendipitous conversations. Some of that happens in slack, some in zoom, but we do have to be more deliberate about it. But the benefits more than outweigh the drawbacks.
