I would expect some sort of delivery is required.

I wouldnt want to be expected to make a full delivery in usual time, until the remote operation became familiar and the local work environment was resolved.

some people may actually be able to lease out a small office space, rather than work from home, but those with family especially with kids may be challenged.

I couldn't agree more with you. Too often we expect the same outcome when throwing people into a new environment, and without clear processes, expectations...
