My team has been testing out a hybrid of the two-- we use a slackbot to gather our answers to the three questions before standup begins. Then we use the meeting time to discuss anything that might have come up as a result of the slack posts.

We've really liked it so far. It cuts out a lot of the bad parts of synchronous standup like trying to remember what you did yesterday on the spot, but still leaves us with the opportunity to share ideas in depth when it makes sense.

I think completely going to an async standup right now wouldn't be good at all for our team dynamic. With the whole team remote, standup is the one time a day we're all on a call together. There's a lot of value that comes out of that even if it's inefficient at times.
