There are definitely places where you can fit into such a role, but you need other people you're working with to do the grunt work and make sure you're aligned with what matters to the org.

If you don't have somebody doing that, you risk being stuck on dead-end projects or working on code that doesn't align with business needs, which can put you at risk when it's layoff time (fairly or not).

So even if it's not you doing that part, somebody has to, and if that "somebody" is also fully remote they'll probably have a tougher time navigating everything themselves, which means they're less likely to keep you focused on high visibility, valuable, and successful projects.
