Most of these bullet points are just as important for in-office teams. Enforcing good meeting discipline, sending out weekly updates, defining process for RFCs, and documenting process and culture in a shared location are all very important regardless of where employees are located. Remote work only works if the team's foundation is solid in the first place.
The point about forcing everyone to be remote is great if you can make it work, but it will eliminate a lot of employees who can't work remotely. I know remote work is a hot topic, but in my experience only a small fraction of employees can be very effective in remote-only roles.
If your company can't be all-remote, it's critical to invest in proper processes and culture to keep everyone included. Quashing in-office politics, breaking knowledge silos, and mandating centralized documentation of decisions is key.
