I work from New Zealand, for a quite geographically distributed team. For our team, the solution is partly:
1. "Write everything down" culture.
2. Rotate the regular meetings. For example, a meeting around 1000 UTC for Europe / Asia folks on Monday. Repeat the same meeting at 2000 UTC for US / Asia folks.
3. Write good notes for each meeting, so people who could not attend can review asynchronously.
2x meetings may not work for a truly distributed team where you have people all over the world. In which you will need to have 3x rotating meetings which becomes a bit harder to manage.
DST changes do happen every six months, or so. We mostly roll with it, and adjust the meeting times as necessary.
