there are lots of nice to haves, but after working 100% remotely for the last 4 or 5 years there are 2 things i’ve found are a must:
Funny you should say that. I work at a standing desk at work and at home. And it's all the gain here, in fact every new desk is a standing desk (adjustable, so some still sit mostly or share while dinner mostly or always stand).

Good habits around keeping one's area productive are also a big deal.
1-Investing in the right tools and resources can significantly enhance the work environment and productivity of remote programmers. like High-Quality Hardware
2-Investing in improving personality traits like communication skills, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness is crucial for remote programmers to enhance their work environment and productivity. These investments can include taking online courses, attending workshops, or practicing mindfulness to develop these skills. By focusing on personal growth, remote programmers can better navigate challenges, communicate effectively with team members, and leverage their strengths to excel in their work.
Good chair - No matter what you do, without a good chair you quickly become unproductive. Back pain is the worst.
Warm and cozy lighting - If you spend your entire day inside your home office, invest in good lights to bring a cozy and warm feeling to the environment. That helps me start the work in a feel good mood.
These two for me are non negotiable after years working at home.

A good chair.
