"Preferably run your own server" has nothing to do with remote-only work or setting up a team for success remotely, it's just dogmatism.
A remote-only company hosting its own IRC instance is in no better position to succeed than a remote-only company reliant on Slack for communication. Yes, services shut down. Yes, DDoS attacks happen. But buildings also lose internet access, people trip over cables, etc. The weaknesses are different but one is not inherently better than the other.
