I'm interviewing for a job a few hours away from my home, I would love this job and I'm sure I'd be a great fit.
I want to be honest and transparent from the start with them, I want to work from home. My partner is tied up in our city for a specific work-related task for another 3 years and I would hate to just leave.
I want to propose that they let me work from home. I understand they can't automatically trust me, so I would be happy to move there short term,and would be open to travelling once a month to check in with team members at my own expense if necessary. The company is already very remote friendly and they pride themselves in work life balance.
I want to convince them from a business standpoint because I am sure my skill and productivity at home can be as beneficial to them as it would be for me.
Is this unreasonable?

is this unreasonable?
Not at all, You can always ask. With your proposal you've offered to move short term and give them time to trust you. You've offered that you check in once a month (maybe even more regularly if needed). I think you're at a good stand point assuming you get the job (as you're still interviewing).
I want to be honest and transparent
This is the way to do. If you feel like your skills and your personality will be a good fit and they do too. This minor complication should not deter them from hiring you (assuming you want to tell them in the interview).
What I will say is be careful when you mention it (if you're telling them in the interview) as they may want someone on site for this role and this may put you at a disadvantage.
But never the less, Good luck and I hope it works out for you
