That depends on the work and how it has been chunked down. Even longer projects that may take a couple weeks can have some milestones.
When I worked on a team of only senior, experienced engineers, we never had a problem keeping each other updated during daily standups. The exception I have seen might be very complex refactors, or trying to solve problems with no clear approaches.
With a team of junior engineers, it's great engaging with people and help with mentoring.
Lastly, I have found that true uninterrupted deep work lasts no more than a max of 3 hours a day, maybe 4. I've done full 8 hours daily like that, and I burned out. In hindsight, I realized that most people can't really do a full 8 hours like that.

When you add in incidentals like refilling your water, stretching, interfacing with calendars and emails, it's understandable that 3-4 hours of deep work per day is totally adequate.
