What about stock refreshers? I believe stock grants make up a pretty big portion of one's total compensation at large tech companies. According to data shared by Google and Facebook employees [0], it seems like stock makes up ~40% of your compensation for a Senior L5 role.

Would those also be CoL adjusted?

I don't know the "official" policy on this yet, but anecdotally they do not decrease your existing grants (which vest over 4 years), but the new location could affect the new RSUs you will be granted while in the new location.

I assume there wouldn’t be any public policy for that. I think privately they’d calculate that remote employees have a weaker job market and less refreshes will be required to retain them.
