In CoRE, we always found it easier to have two meetings with ample time between them, so we could solve difficult problems between the slots (of course, this works only for the ones that are on the first slot’s agenda).

The disadvantage for “all the world is 1 hour slots” is, of course, the larger loss in setup time.  The Tetris analogy doesn’t quite work here, because our real Tetris is juggling agenda items in the slots.

(Another advantage is having more break time; this is really needed to get those hallway discussions completed.)

Finally, all WGs are different, so there may be some that actually work better in 2-hour slots (say, dispatch?  SAAG?  RG meetings?)
