It feels like there's a real dichotomy in the industry now and 1:1s are one aspect of it.

Some people enjoy frequent, active communication - daily standups, weekly 1:1s, all the Agile ceremonies. They work socially and rely heavily on collaboration to make progress as a team.

Others find frequent interruptions for all those regular meetings disruptive and unhelpful. They're comfortable working autonomously and prefer to communicate spontaneously when the need arises.

I don't think this is an introvert/extrovert thing. It's more like a process/people thing. Ironically the first group often describes itself as being Agile but it's the second group that usually is.

IMHO a team needs to pick its path and if it needs to grow then it's best to bring in others who want to follow the same path (and to discuss their style early and openly during the hiring process). The same person might thrive with the right team but be very uncomfortable and leave quickly if the culture fit isn't right.
