a question for all the work at home employees
does your employer require your computer to have one of those programs that tracks your keystrokes to ensure your at the keyboard working

No, because performance metrics render that nonsense completely unnecessary. Tracking software is just unnecessary micromanagement from managers who would be completely obsolete if they trusted their employees enough to not peer over their shoulders at all times. If people are getting their work done satisfactorily and not interfering with others doing the same, any other restrictions you place on what they can do during work time are unnecessary.

other, I like hybrid and that's what I am

This is actually a more accurate description of my situation: There's an office I can go into if I want/need to, but I have the option of working from home and take that option more often than not because there's no point in spending an extra hour or two commuting. I agree that the flexibility is ideal, as opposed to strictly adhering to one paradigm or the other.

Also the other major con is I went from working a 40-45 hours a week to 60+ hours a week with no raise in pay (although I did get a raise in title).

That's not a WFH issue so much as it's a terrible boss issue. If it's not in your employment contract that you have to work that many hours, start charging overtime. If it is, start job hunting.
