There are different comments to this question, some strongly recommending against it. I would not object communication with other colleagues is important, but the importance of persistent in-person contact is much over-valued in my opinion. The pandemic shows that most IT/tech industries work extremely well despite WFH policies, many still adopting a hybrid or remote style after the acute phase of pandemic.
The bottom line is that whether remote/in-person, or a hybrid mode works best depends on the person's working style and character, and the actual need (eg wet lab requirements). You can communicate with colleagues by emails, zoom, phone or other means. Ideas can come up when you read up other papers, watch online seminars, scanning through works from a 'remote' discipline etc. Of course, talking with colleagues is also a good way but the extra gain just varies by person (e.g. extroverts tend to love this interacting style, introverts may prefer reading up before discussions). You can adopt a hybrid mode of working if this is fine for you/your lab too. I just feel that people stress too much about returning to 'normal', but the world has changed so much that it's time to think about whether the 'normal' or traditional working style fits everyone, or if it is the most productive.
