I have a really hard time understanding why fully remote would be "less healthy" for anything software related (I'm at a company now that switched to 100% remote and pretty much everything works more smoothly than I ever experienced in my 25 years of "office career" before). Our teams do (voluntary) "office days/weeks" and smaller team events from time to time, but inevitably those office days are much less productive (which is intended and expected though, they are mainly for socializing).
Everything that needs to be done is possible on laptops nowadays, and the big server machine that used to hum in the dedicated "server room/closet" is now "in the cloud" instead). I can contact a fellow team member faster now than walking over to their desk, and I can also see immediately whether they are busy or otherwise not available.
