I am still working full-time remote. There are definitely some social aspects of going to the office I miss, but I really don’t miss the commute or the shitty office politics. Overall I feel I am still more productive from home and happier overall.

I’m in an interesting position on this… I do research as a grad student, my work can be done anywhere with internet but… I have been working in-person for the last year or two, and have been almost doing 80-100% in-person the last few months.
Partly because I feel more productive when being in an office. Partly because I use public transit & don’t have to worry about traffic/parking. Partly because I get to communicate with my boss in-person about project ideas & stuff. Partly at the strong urge of my psychologist to have some human interactions & don’t depress myself at home the whole day
There are a good number of research labs I know who are still doing 100% remote and it worked out fairly well for them too, so to each their own?
Totally agree. And actually, if I were in my early career, I would probably like to go in for face-to-face time too.
