I'd be more weirded out by MDM than a company that had a small HQ office for HR and legal.
I agree that once remote, it should be remote -- absent being needed to do a deposition none of this "all hands" crap -- but having that physical office is good so if things go off the rails ala the 1995 action thriller "The Net" you have someplace to show up at and ask some pointed questions ;-)
