See here how to do a restore externally through a computer: Restore your Apple TV - Apple Support. That part wouldn’t require a remote.
You will still need a functional physical remote to set it up again after that. (You can’t use the software remote until after setup and both devices are connected to the same home network.)
You don't, you MUST have a remote.
