Question

"How do I get a full remote job, tell my employer exactly what all my plans are, and never get the offer rescinded and be forced to RTO?"

Answer

YOU DON'T! Read the VPN wiki, buy a travel router, tell no one your plans, and just GO!

The reason why 99% of employers will say no is tax and legal liabilities. Use your brain!

Keep in mind that lying to your employer can open you up to legal repercussions. And it can also open your employer to same.

VPNs, however implemented, can be detected, and the average person will not maintain a secure set up in the long term. Your OPSEC needs to be perfect all the time, your employer only needs you to slip up once.

By all means “just go” but accept it carry’s a significant amount of personal risk, including financial.

Yeah, the lying is definitely not something that should be done when your company is involved with handling protected information of any kind (health records, government stuff, likely some financials as well).

Since that can be more properly illegal, as opposed to just against company policy.
