When I started managing and mentoring people and teams who were starting to work remotely 10-15 years ago, I came up with a phrase that I think captures the gist of it, which others have already mentioned here, but can't be overstated:
"Communication is oxygen for remote teams." As always, there are nuances, like the fact that not everyone enjoys remote work settings, and it's not necessarily the best setting for non-engineering teams. You can find a bunch of ideas online for how to adequately communicate.
For me, async + remote engineering teams are the most joyous and exciting setups!
If you'd like more advice, my email is on my profile.
