It turns out Chromebook does have a solution to this problem:

“Because Chrome Remote Desktop runs in Chrome and Chrome reserves certain keyboard shortcuts for its own use, by default these shortcuts won’t be sent to your remote computer.

However you can override this default behavior by right-clicking the Chrome Remote Desktop icon in the Applications list and choosing “Open in Window”. In this mode nearly all keyboard shortcuts will be sent to your remote computer.”

My only other concern regarding remote access, which one can only check on a case-by-case basis, is the following:

“If your computer is on a corporate network, check whether your company’s network security policies prevent access to outside services that rely on peer-to-peer (P2P) connections (“NAT Traversal” policies). If so, you won’t be able to use the Chrome Remote Desktop app. This restriction applies when you and the other computer are not on the same corporate network.”
