Everyone works different, but that decision (to have scheduled 1:1 or not) should probably be discussed between the two in a frank tone. Trying to rationalize for/against miss the difference of needs.

Someone I manage explicitly came and asked for a weekly 1:1 meeting, because it was hard for him to stay focused or productive without it and indeed his productivity went up after introducing it.

Me and my manager have no scheduled 1:1 but it works well. I think I'm also the type of person that scheduled 1:1 would work well, because we tend to have 2-3 1:1 per week anyway when things are remote and we need to be in sync or brainstorm ideas and meta-issues.

But with my previous manager, scheduled 1:1 didn't lead to anything except "you're doing fine".

If someone is not sure if would be useful, one can always try for a short time and then talk if it's helpful or not and change it accordingly.
