I think this article takes a good look at what challenges need to be noticed in order to keep remote work in the long-run. As covid-19 has made almost all workers work remote, it makes it easier to see the benefits remote work has through a short term-lens -- such as productivity.

In relation to the long-term use of remote work, I found this article that looks at ways companies can have long-term remote work for their employees. It highlights that rules, norms and key metrics need to be evaluated to enhance culture and values in remote work. I also like how they use an iterative process in order to find what fits best for each company. That iterative process is to explore, envision, and test.
