Thanks for sharing. Some of it is pretty universal.
Regarding meetings that deteriorate when they get too large: I've seen some success in allowing ours to subdivide into smaller groups. ...on Discord at least where it's easy to jump to another voice channel. Perhaps it could work in the right physical setting too. (But Discord makes screen-sharing and hearing everyone easy compared to in person.)
The pattern for our meetings is like this: ~30 sec. introductions, ~5 min show and tell (what you're working on and/or a problem you ran into), then based on the above, deep dives into what people are interested in discussing/helping others with/or prepared presentations.
Depending on how large the group is, at some point, usually just before the deep dives, I offer: "We have multiple rooms to split off into what would be useful for you to discuss. Feel free to do that anytime."
Sometimes I identify common interests, or a burning question and someone that can help them--and suggest they move to another room/channel.
