2 meetings work fine for large company / departmental scope presentations, because only %1-5 of the people in the meeting have to do the midnight thing, but break at the 5-10 person level unfortunately. Someone is forced into a midnight meeting somewhere as part of syncing up planning between teams at the very least.

Not necessarily.

It just requires the manager/lead to run two meetings.

I did this with small teams for many years, and it's annoying but it can be done.

I generally aimed to have everyone together 1/quarter in person to do the higher level planning stuff, which would be much more difficult in the times of Covid.
