Hawayo Takata did some distant attunements. She was a significant Reiki teacher who brought Reiki to the West.

I have successfully received distant attunements to Usui Reiki and several similar systems. So it works. Just make sure to choose a competent teacher who can communicate clearly. I have also attuned myself to a couple of energy healing systems. It is more difficult than receiving attunement from a teacher. I don't recommend it to a beginner.
When you self-attune to a system, you aren't competent enough to attune others to it. There are few exceptions to this rule. I am only aware of Brett Bevell's Light of the Eternal One system.
