I think meetings are almost always unnecessary. They are something that project managers and managers like to have because it gives them work to appear to be doing. They can say they have done meetings to justify themselves. There is another reason to have meetings which is basically to spy on employees. To me a stand up meeting feels more like management attempting to assess the workforce's compliance more so than trying to learn what is going on. A slack message could have done it all for less.
