In my experience, a small, well-balanced, well-functioning team needs almost zero formal process. Even regular meetings aren't necessary because the devs are always talking with each other anyway. Coordination happens naturally.

It's one of the main reasons why I strongly prefer working on such teams.

Yep - if you're working with reasonable and experienced people, they'll do reasonable things to get stuff done. Forcing processes onto these people actually make them less effective.

interesting take, many A-list devs I have observed like some structure, it just has to be the right structure.

I guess the guardrails of process are to help focus the more inexperienced. the less you know the more framework you need.
