> incredible amount of communication fidelity lost compared to in-person meetings.

Yes, but is it critical ?

Do you really need that high fidelity interaction everyday of the week, all month ?

I feel a lot of strategies can be used to mitigate the need for that much bandwidth and hi-fi interactions. There’s orgs where some people working together only meet once a week or once a month.

If I remember well github teams only physically meet once every many months.

There are of course downsides to that, but the upsides (e.g. living a healthy life) can compensate them largely enough.
