Sysadmin roles where you don't have to care about the product are definitely a thing, you just need to look outside the tech industry - think low-tech manufacturing and service industries. There are a lot of roles out there that can be low or no touch, as long as the email is flowing and the printer is online, although a lot of those kinds of places might not get the concept of remote work even a little bit. If I really wanted to work as little as possible, I think what I would try to do is develop a customer base of local small businesses that aren't big enough to have their own dedicated IT person, help them get things set up, and then sell them monthly support contracts that include maintenance and some low fixed number of included hours for incidents.
