Alternatively, the PCs can be the techs who handle the drones or other robots.
So the players play characters who let avatars take all the risk? Consider
what the real world said about remote warriors:

It would be a very non standard campain, but i think in principle it can
work. In most campains pcs risk their lives only in a technical sense, but
can trust that they don't permanently die because of a missed roll, or one
bad plan.
A drone operator campain, where if they mess up, they have to explain the
loss of the drone to their commanding officer can be much harsher from a
player perspective, then a campain, where if they mess up, the GM wings
something so the pcs stay alive.
Sure drone operator is not very glorious. But you can build a pc around
the unthanked hero stereotype as well.
