I've had a occasionally successful pair-coding experiences, but I'd say I generally agree with you. Pull requests and code reviews have a lot of benefits. It lets the team work asynchronously, so you can collaborate more effectively with remote workers from around the world. As you make some changes, other people in your team might be interested in the reasoning which lead to that decision, and you can point to the pull request's discussion. In addition, it lets you think about the problem over a longer period of time, without putting anyone "on the spot"; sometimes you just need to let things stew for a bit.
