No formal governance does not mean no governance. It just means obscured governance with more hidden power structures.
If people haven't read it, I highly recommend reading The Tyranny of Structurelessness, even if the political context of its writing is uninteresting to you, because the lessons are deep:

And if course, there's value in the critiques of it too. Libertarians can learn a lot from anarchists attempts at building social structures that don't have rulers.
