No comma between the subject and the predicate (of your subordinate clause)!
My version:
We have often found that going off to lunch or driving home from the office brings enlightenment that would otherwise have eluded us through hours of typing away at the keyboard.

1. We have often found that going off to lunch or driving home from the office brings enlightenment that would otherwise elude us through hours of typing away at the keyboard.
2. We have often found that going off to lunch or driving home from the office brings enlightenm
