I have worked remotely in IT in multiple positions for over a decade, far pre-dating the pandemic WFH transition.
I have never had a problem with communication or feeling noticed. Everything I do is tracked, and I am at my desk during work hours, the same as if I was in an office.
When someone Slacks me, I generally will get back to them either instantaneously or within a few minutes, the same as if I was in an office.
I'm not sitting around watching Netflix or going for an hour walk at 10 AM. I'm expected during certain hours to be doing my job, no matter where it is.
I don't see this as a reason that "WFh will fail', it's been working fine for me.
