there's definitely something to that approach. maybe not "do nothing" but "do little". I observed many times that doing less is even preferrable. it helps staying out of trouble. instead everyday you do just as much that you can refer to it - most of the times nobody seems to care about how "much" that actually contributed. as long as you can say I worked on X during your slot in the daily. beyond that learn from George Costanza how to seem busy - ask questions, complain about something, have a little meeting about every other day. especially the latter helps you appear as a committed teamplayer. doing more usually just increases risk of being blamed for something and attracts more work due to having to fix your own stuff in stressful and observed situations.

There are so much that always need fixing. If everyone would do what you suggest, nothing would ever move forward. The need to have meetings for every minor issue, is like running on brakes - unless the meeting really can be used to resolve something. The downside is nobody notices your work, but there are upsides to it and less risk.

I have no idea where I suggest meetings for every minor issue ... having said that my suggested mo is directly related to organisations that fail to properly motivate and instead implement punish dedication. ime that's the norm in many teams.
