We chat about everything in our team, asynchronous. Works fine for 30 years. I find people who have issues writing down their thoughts and bullet points first (which means they will be answered or addressed by someone before they can even hit a meet invite button). Each their own of course; everywhere I go (and we see a lot of companies close up because the nature of our work), we have to push away the meetings as they never work at all. What helps is asking very high hourlies; then suddenly meetings are not so wanted anymore (which proves the point).
