Funny, I've found that a hybrid scrum model works extremely well to address almost all items on your list, and works across the spectrum of personality types. M/W/F normal stand-ups and T/Th 1:1s with each team member or small group.

The one thing it can't address (unending distractions) is a red herring. Either you've hired an employee that can manage their own time or you haven't. If they can't manage their time while WFH I doubt they would be much better managing their time WFO, either.

I've found it's only bad management (and in some cases, access to exotic/expensive hardware) for WFH to not work for software development.

Good lord if you're using process to paper over interpersonal issues you're in some deep shit.

If you work on a team with no conflict you're lucky, and it won't last forever. That's when WFH shows its downsides.
