I do believe that fully remote teams should meet in person, but 90/10 is a bit much.
At my last company, there would be a fiscal year kick-off event in February where the entire company would meet. Last year was in Chamonix, France. This year was Da Nong, Vietnam, though I got laid off two weeks before that event happened.
They would also do regional gatherings around Sept/Oct. Last year, the Western half of the USA met in Lake Tahoe, and the Eastern half met in some lodge in Connecticut, and everyone else (Mostly Europe) met in Spain.
I think it's really important to meet the human being behind the screen.
My current employer is mostly remote, but does have an office in Santa Clara. My team did an on-site there a few months ago. Was great to meet everyone and strategize for the next year. Sure, we were in the meeting room for hours, but I'd rather spend hours in a meeting room than hours on a Zoom call.
