After working from home for the last 9 months, I do not want to ever go back into the office. I'd like to stay permanently remote. Advice for bringing this topic up with my manager? Or should I hold off on asking until we actually need to return (probably not until May or June at this rate). I feel like I am just as productive wfh and would like the ability to move away from my current city.

Amen to that. I’m back in office full time and am way more tired, getting same amount of work done.

I feel generally the same. Willing to come into the office occasionally, but not willing to deal with any situation where I am required to commute into the office every single day.

I work in industry now. Senior accountant.

I'm in industry too, feel the same way, and doing it now. Do it now and ask. You'll either get approval to do it or you won't,and if you don't, you'll know where you stand and can decide from there if you want to find a new remote job (and you can take your time finding one).

As for advice, it's going to depend on your company and manager and how they feel about permanent remote. It probably won't depend all that much on you.
