Standups are normally short, and meant to be short so people don't ramble on and everyone can go back to their work. I hate standups because it's mostly treated as an agile 'ceremony', and that there are better ways to relieve blockers a.k.a communication via Slack or Teams or other means.

Taking 30-60 minutes to do a Rally is, forgive me for being skeptical, worse than a traditional standup in that it takes up more time, and requires everyone to buy in to the idea and that your team comprises of only extroverts - something that a traditional standup already has a problem with.

Fully agree. It's part of the problem we are thinking about. How do we make remote work fun for extroverts while not sidelining others? This was one take at the problem and I really appreciate the feedback you gave :)
