Yeah that's what I default to. Or maybe even "Morning, how's it going? [question here]".

I like to be friendly but also to not to waste time by doing some kind of weird manual slack handshake protocol.

In slack at least you can insert line breaks so the pleasantry first, line break, then question.

Exactly this. All in one message, not so that you send the first "Hey" and then formulate the main question for a couple of minutes while the other person is already waiting.
