The tools and processes for remote work are completely different than co-located though. This will force the in-office folks to essentially adopt all of the remote protocols.

IME blended teams are by far the hardest to make work.

If by "adopting remote protocols" we mean "writing things down instead of verbal tribal knowledge", I think I'm actually ok with that.

Now that everything's written down, what was the point of the meeting again? It makes a lot more sense to have an asynchronous process for problem exploration and decision making with one or more deadlines for statements about a given topic and then a final vote (possibly just one individual deciding on a given topic).

Everything's never written down. New knowledge comes out of meetings, then you write that down.
