When my office moved, my round-trip commute grew from 20 to 25 miles. At my normal level of effort, this meant about 3 hours a day on the road. When I moved to my current job, the commute dropped to 10 miles found trip for about an hour a day. That was faster than driving, given local traffic and parking conditions, and felt like a sweet spot. Then the pandemic hit, and we all had to work from home. Zero miles of commute is way too short. For a while, I did a 44 mile round trip by car, which required an hour on the road, and felt that was too long to drive. I'd conclude 1) 38 miles is possible by bike, 2) not really practical, as a car is faster, 3) however, too long to drive, 4) still better than working remotely and not commuting by any mode.
