I’m interviewing for a role at Takeda and it seems like a good fit, however, they mentioned it’s hybrid and the expectation is to be on-site in the office 3 days/week. How strict are they about this? Does it seem likely if I were to get the offer I can negotiate down to 1 day/week? Cambridge is just too far for me to commute 3 days. Even 2 is pushing it. Thoughts?

Depends on Manager. The target onsite for many groups is 5 days per month. The compliance is quite low. My group is more like 1 day per month with no threat of enforcement of anything beyond that. Definitely check with hiring manager.

If they offer you the job make sure the reduced on-site days is in your offer letter otherwise it's as good as their word against yours.

I think this is something you can't really negotiate. Most likely it's a company-wide mandate, so even your boss and your boss' boss has to come in 3x a week. I work at BMS which has a similar policy. Unless you have a medical excuse you can't really negotiate this, unfortunately.

My commute to work is 2.5 hrs btw (one way)

For money reasons. I still live with my folks in NY. This way I can save tons of money.

It depends on your job and team. Are they offering a relocation option?

No, I live too close to relocate, but far enough for it to be a nightmare commute without options for public transportation.
