To me daily stand ups, and most other rituals, are an OK way to _train_ desirable behaviour. If nobody knows what their team mates are working on and nobody says anything when they're blocked, you probably want to change that one way or another. However, if people already do it, or once they get accustomed to doing it, I can see no good reason to keep up a ritual that's disrupting - at least in a remote team. From what I've seen, a lot of companies don't see it that way however, they rather cargo cult "best practices" :/
