Depends... are you working on the most important stuff first?
I'd rather have a strict 9-5'er that's always working in priority order than a 12-2am'er that's scattered and not delivering important work.
IMO the most important thing for success in remote work is having a prioritized backlog and defined iteration. It's way too easy to lose hours and days down an unimportant rabbit hole without these things.
I'd say many places don't have enough PM rigor to make remote work sensible.
i don't think that's a fair comparison given the likely hood of the reverse also being true. Personally I like to work at home when I have a huge complex task so that I can focus and spend all my time on it. I can easily when WFH start work at 8am and work til 2am because I can't sleep until big problems are solved. I also feel more inclined to hang back take my time to do needed research, where in the office I may not do that so It doesn't appear that I am just browsing the web. Overall, I can have complex tasks completed in a couple days WFH where if I came in to the office it could take weeks.
