In general I agree, but I have private Slack channels for some projects for a couple reasons:

1. Concern that certain specific people could hijack conversations or take them the wrong way

2. Ability to candidly express frustrations with partners and stakeholders not doing their part

I don't think we are unkind or impolite, but any negativity we express, even for the purposes of effective internal problem solving, can be used against us.
