Always camera on is far worse than working in person in a cube, IMO. But, during most meetings, camera-on is a reasonable ask. As in, it's fine if that's the norm, allowing for occasional exceptions.

Edit: it is unfortunate though that you'll inevitably be judged for your room/home, etc. This is one reason I prefer in-person work; if my home is noisy or disheveled, nobody is the wiser.
