From what I understand, it depends. For local work being outside of LA is probably not a problem, but if you're talking about being in animated TV or movies, it's probably going to be a problem as you do need to be near the director, producer and audio engineers and it can be hard to do that remotely. And, that may well change, but often times everybody is in the same studio because what other people are doing can impact what you do and there's things that the producers and director may hear while you're doing your thing that can require adjustments. Doing that remotely can be a pain.
That's a good issue to bring up and it might vary depending on the projects one is involved with.
Some voice acting gigs will want all the actors together so that they can improvise and banter, etc. Others allow talent to work remotely. Maggie Roswell voices all of her Simpsons roles from home, for example.
That said, I don't think working from home means being entirely out of the loop, especially these days. One can have a Zoom call open with all of the other required people for collaboration, but also be using their DAW to record their lines.
