The nice thing about remote work is that your downside interactions are minimized also. I find it easier to vent in a room alone about some bone-headed reason why a pull request is rejected, as opposed to an office situation where people could feel slighted over just my blank facial expression. In some cases, even when I have nothing vested in a project, I feel like people get slighted by my lack of enthusiasm. (This is true even if I am willing to accept management's decisions. A sort of "disagree and commit", if you will.) I face none of these problems as a remote worker, and I think this is a net positive.
