I’ve also on boarded many people remote and in person. When you work for a fully remote company, on boarding is not difficult.
Speaking up on Zoom may have a higher barrier to entry than in an in person meeting (maybe) but asking questions on Slack is much lower.
The great thing about remote first, is that a lot of communication is written and can be referenced in the future, which is a great boon to juniors.

I agree with you that conditional on being selected for a fully-remote company, this is fine. My understanding is that these companies tend not to hire as many juniors though, am I incorrect?
