I think there would be value in distinguishing fully remote from occasional work from home.
I can see reasons to reject the former, but the latter (at least to me) should be a given. If you don't do it, you are losing a significant competitive advantage over the competition to hire great people.
I used to work at a company where WFH was not allowed. We were working with a recruiter to fill a few positions, and the guy was pretty honest, it told us "you guys are at the bottom of the pool because you don't allow WFH".
