I did it for about 10 years, as the only one officially remote in the team, ending now. It worked OK, but part of the trick was that I was very senior, and the rest of the team was split across several time zones with me sitting basically in the middle. Another part was everyone knew I was remote because the team was far from where I lived, not because I wanted to WFH per se. That's also the case with some senior people in adjacent teams: the people who are truly "core" get to live where they want, or at least that's been my experience over the last 20-ish years. I definitely wouldn't advise it as a career strategy, mostly for the reason you cite.
