I don't think you can reasonably expect 100% remote if "travel to the main office occasionally" is "not 100% remote".
Pre-pandemic I worked with people who were both full-time remote (lived in another state) and who worked in an office in another city. Everyone came to visit the main and branch offices every so often, especially if they were involved with more "leadership" roles (i.e. tech lead, staff engineer, etc).
I don't think anybody knows what the future is going to look like. This even shows up in the recent past: reddit fired all their remote workers (pre-pandemic) and then went mostly-remote a few years later (pandemic). Offices are reopening and some people come in a lot but other people don't come in at all.
I also knew someone who worked remotely for years in video games until the company told him to come in or quit. He quit and now works FAMG making millions.
Some practical notes: what's the risk if the company decides to ask that you come in? Do you need a savings buffer while you look for a job? Do you have a visa that requires you be employed?

Do you have a visa that requires you be employed? I would say no risks like these, but mainly the uncertainty would stress me out I think. Also, looking for a job when you have one already is very different from looking for a job when you know your current one will be finished early (if they decide to do hybrid model, then I would just quit or get fired).
