Think this entirely depends on the profession. I do web development - when I was in the office all my working relationships were through digital messages/online meetings to team members across the country. It’s the exact same now that I permanently work from home.

But to piggy back on what you’re saying - things like tone of voice matter way more when the work is entirely digital. No one can see me, so how I sound is the major influence for how they’ll perceive me.
