Work is work, wherever you do it. I find it strange to call work from home a remote work when it is exactly the opposite, the work done locally at home. Especially when this type of work even in office is often done by connecting to servers that far away from the actual workstation anyway :) But on more serious note, I have been a freelance translator for many years and while it had certain benefits, it also involves many cons. You already mentioned lack of human contact which is not only mentally harder but can also be an impediment advancing one's career. Another is that home environment are not always the best for work focus. In fact, a lot of my freelance time was spent working outside, in cafes, parks, libraries etc. Everything has trade-offs. The article should have at least mentioned some of them.
