Going by my own experience, everything being remotely or everything being in the office (regularly, but not necessary all the time) works best.

It's hard to make a hybrid approach work, where some people are mostly in the office, and some people are always remote.

However the extra burden falls mostly on the remote people, so I see not much of a reason to disallow people from going remote.

RTO usually means mandated, company wide RTO, not "there's an office if you want." So no, not right.
