I'm going to push back on this, a bit. 

I'm also involved in the W3C, which has two major meetings a year. Granted, one of them is a bit smaller / more administrative, but it's very noticeable how much harder it is to build relationships, maintain them, and make spontaneous progress there. 

The hallway track is important; socialising the group is extremely important. This can't be done online, unfortunately, and I don't see any way to realistically do it; notably, the attempts to replace it were the biggest failures during COVID.

Just food for thought...

Cheers,
