>The reason why offshoring nearly always failed in the past is because teams weren't fully distributed/remote

That's an interesting theory. It doesn't match what I've observed where the offshore team almost always had a skill gap with the on-site team.

Remember that in this case it'd be "offshoring", not "offshore outsourcing". That is, the company would be able to maintain the hiring bar at that reduced cost.
