Pros of remote..

generally less bench warming, you do a good job, make people happy, no one is going to miss you if you take a two hour walk in the middle of the day to enjoy the world around you. Or any number of other activities you may choose to do.

Depending on your meetings you could pretty much work from anywhere. Generally though it can be frustrating to work without a place set aside to do so after awhile.

In your shoes, post covid, I might stay in fun places for a month at a time and come back to the kids or take them with if you can.

Cons... It's easy to get stuck in what feels like the twilight zone. More so than the office. It's really important, especially if you are alone, to make time for social activities and exercise. Laughs and strength help avoid what could feel like a very isolated life otherwise.
