I don't think any of us can answer these questions for you. It sounds like you've done enough real development to consider yourself integrated into the field, so there's hope I think. If I were in your shoes the main thing I'd be considering is how you want to spend the rest of your career. Do you genuinely enjoy software development? If so then get your thinking cap on and figure out how to make it work. If you don't like it that much then this might be a good time to jump ship.

Remote roles are also difficult to land for junior developers because there is an assumption that those working remotely are going to be independent (it's harder to support someone when you can't sit at the keyboard with them). So that might be one of the reasons you aren't finding remote roles, and one could argue that at this stage of your career you maybe shouldn't be looking for one.

Also bear in mind that in the U.S. market we're in a situation now where even incredibly skilled developers are having trouble finding work. I worked with a guy about a decade ago who mentored me and taught me a lot, he was one of those savant programmers who'd been doing it his whole life. He got laid off last year and has been out of work since. So it's also the market, not just you.

All of this being said I think there is a place in the IT industry for people like you to find work in companies who have a harder time getting bodies into seats, unattractive companies with boring tech stacks and cultures. That might not sound appealing to you, but it's been my experience that companies like this tend to come with less stress and a slower pace. Basically you need to look at it from the cost/benefit perspective of the employer. If they have a hard time hiring and paying an excessive salary, they're more likely to hire inexperienced people. Whereas if you're gunning for high paid remote roles you're just too far down experience line.

Once you build up your experience and skill-level, that's when you can aim for remote roles.
