This can be alleviated by meeting once a week(if all members are in the same area) or once per couple of months(for more distributed teams).

I would be very wary of companies that can't perform because physical attendance is mandatory every single day!

And perhaps I'm wrong by measuring our performance by "number of features completed" or "number of bugs fixed". I just don't know what other metric matters to use.

If you emphasize metrics, you'll get folks who optimize for the metrics, to the detriment of the project. They will frustrate your best engineers, who will eventually leave.
