Yes, being autonomous is one of the most important traits I look for when hiring for my team (Disclaimer: I lead a distributed engineering team of 22).

Whether you are can be a good fit or no depends on how frequently you need to ask your teammates a question.

If you need to do that say once a day, I would say that is fine. If you are part of a distributed who are in different timezones then to be productive you will have to learn how to remove the roadblocks yourself.

Now if you need to do that every 10 minutes then I would say it is a problem and not just a poor fit for remote work but a general problem that can be bad in a co-located team as well. Most of developers are going to dislike interruptions no matter how nicely you do that.
