I like (<20min) sync standups for two reasons:

1: Social. By seeing my coworkers over video I remind myself that I work with people, not pull requests or comments. Perhaps more relevant these times.

2: Discovery. 2.1: A minute or two to just touch on overall goals can instill team spirit. Sales target hit? No angry customers? Perhaps a complaint. It helps with team alignment 2.2: A quick rundown on how each persons day is looking / what people are working on. Perhaps not for blocking but sometimes it is useful to connect two people and let them follow up post-meeting.
