I asked this very question in my 1st year of fully remote working. By the 7th year the answer was very clear in my head, so I went back to the office. Two years later COVID happened and now I'm stuck at home again. It took me a few years to realize the effects of loneliness and the lack of social interaction. But I do have one extra point: if work is fully remote (i.e., every employee is remote) things work much much better than when only part of the team is remote. You need to at least make sure your manager is also fully remote.
