I would argue you’re ignoring tens of billions of dollars in value at remote first orgs. Team cohesion in person has been demonstrated to be overrated, not just at remote first orgs, but economy wide with record productivity during a 2.5 year pandemic. The data is pretty clear on this imho.

Record productivity followed by record burnout, near as I can tell.

Perhaps, but it's hard to disentangle the contribution of remote work from the general state of the world on that burnout.
