As someone who has worked from home for years, I assure you that *all* of these applications are either useful or essential for remote workers. The only things missing from this list are email and VPN, and arguably any specialised tooling specific to an industry (ie, Git for programmers, Blender for 3d modelers, Krita for digital painters, and so on).
When working from home, it's vital to stay connected to your team, and to stay connected to your own brain. That means reaching out to communicate often, and it means designing a workflow for yourself that enables you to focus on what needs to get done without a structure imposed by de facto office life. These tools help people do both.
