My ex is pressing for us to be friends. His rationale is that it’s because we have mutual friends and he doesn’t want things to be awkward. The thing is 1) I’m rarely around because I travel a lot for work and 2) I’m polite in our interactions (but not buddy-buddy), so I’m not understanding why this isn’t enough.

I think he feels some discomfort seeing that your mutual friends prefer your company over his, which caused him some embarrassment.
Don't allow him to pressure you like that, if it's over it's over, you can still hang around your friends when he's not around and on rare occasions be in the same room and not even think about it.
You do you, don't bother to get distracted , also consider that your future partner might not be a fan of you still being friends with your ex.
DO what you feel like doing, don't do anything to please anyone
