I've been WFH from a new job for a year now. Before that I was WFH since 3/2020 at a job I had been at, in-person, for 4 years.
I have met most of the dev team that I lead. One person is out of state so I've never seen him, the rest I've met once. I haven't seen anything that I could consider a drawback to not being in person with them, or having seen them for more than the few minutes that we've actually met.
FWIW, I've been in this business for about 30 years. I do embedded systems, so occasionally I do have to go into the office to get updated hardware/fixes for broken stuff/etc. But on average I'm not in the office more than 1-2 times a month, rarely for more than 4 hours at a time. Granted this may change if I move to a project that has physically large systems that I can't take home, but for the last few years it's worked just fine for me.
I mean, this morning I took two meetings while sitting in the Service waiting room at a car dealership. The convenience can't be beat.
