While this is an interesting take, it also plays into the meetings are bad mindset without thinking things through. The problem here is in the opportunity cost. The discussion that doesn't happen in the meeting now happens asynchronously, which means more back and forth, and the time spent it now spread over more people. I don't think the cost gets saved.

I think meetings are great if they are optional for everyone attending and it has a clear deliverable at the end of it. That way people who don't think have anything to add can skip it and you always come out of it with action items and clear owners.
