No, because then you're just limited into showing a single calendar.

Some stuff you want in agenda-format (next 5 events on the calendar), others you want in a monthly view, others in daily or weekly.

And then you have alerts, weather etc that doesn't really fit the calendar format that well.

interesting. in that case I'd use widgets on an ipad which support all of those use cases.
You are over-engineering this concept. A simple shared calendar absolutely would work. If you want more features, go for it, but that doesn't mean a shared calendar is a non-functional solution.
I really wanted more information on that dashboard (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37764585)
Look at the sibling comment and the example image of the dashboard they built: https://imgur.com/a/pHSIBcO

How can you do this with a "simple shared calendar"?
