Pretty solid arguments, I’d say, except the one about meetings. Meetings are a way to coordinate synchronously and, typically, by talking. You could also coordinate tasks by writing documents and following a merge review-like process, where your contributions get approved or not without meetings. Of course, this could be a Word document, some slides, whatever, but it should still be possible, as long as (of course) some calls are still allowed for quick clarifications or other short interactions.
