I use to work side-by-side with a designer editing CSS live to help realize their vision, and it was glorious; but for some reason things changed when stuff went fully remote, and it's been a lot harder to convince people that live pairing is worth it.

It does feel worse (at least to me), though not so much so that it isn't valuable to live pair remotely. The micro-lag between transactions, only being able to see one person's screen at a time, can't easily exchange control, etc. overall adds enough drag that it feels like it takes more energy to pair through a screen.
