Having a 1:1 with everyone on your team when you start works better. Admittedly, few teams take the time to do that. But doing so sets up a remote culture where people will talk to each other outside of scheduled calls. Because remote daily syncs often generate thoughts of, "Nah, I won't communicate now... I'll wait for the call". And that both slows down communications and bogs down the daily calls.

So I'll stand by the statement that if daily sync is your solution, you are missing part of the puzzle.
