My team is distributed, I work out of a coworking space less than a mile from my house (15 minute walk). It's made my mental/emotional state so much better (not to mention how much more productive I am).
We offer all employees the choice to work from home or rent a coworking space, and in either case we cover the cost (home office setup, or coworking cost).
I think what most people don't understand is what we went through with covid isn't normal remote work. In normal circumstances, you can work from a coworking space. And you can have an active social life. Etc. Etc. Your kids aren't stuck at home with you. Covid forced a version of remote work that was much worse.
