Just like everything else in software delivery, you are not aiming for perfection and ideals, but to continuously optimize and improve. You may never get there but that also doesn't mean you need to accept friction and not do anything about it.

"Fewer meetings" could indeed be applied to a fault (like everything else) but that's definitely not the aim, the aim is to optimize for async communication and have more substantial meetings with outcomes when you need to have them. And also, it is far more rare to work at companies where they don't have enough meetings, usually, it is the opposite.
