Some points first: I am an introvert, and normally work in a crowded, noisy open office, as a programmer.
I would say I’m at least as productive. The way I see it, I could distract myself in the office too if I want, bullshitting on chat or watching videos. I have developed a lot of personal techniques and mind games to keep me working. Some of that with therapy (All major insurers are covering phone calls like office visits right now). I have ADHD and couldn’t afford to lose more jobs because of it.
My wife shares the office with me. We have a 16, 7 and 4 year old. The teenager is in charge of the kids while we work. This works with limited success. Fortunately, she only works 30hr/wk and gets done at 2. Fortunately, we have a back yard. And it’s the burbs, so we can go on walks without getting close to others.
