Are stand up meetings the correct venue for brainstorming?

No, but they can spur an interested subset of people to brainstorm after the standup ends.

Maybe not, but if your peer said "hey can someone help me with this task" in a standup, wouldn't you want to help them once the meeting is over?

Replace that with asking for help in slack or whatever, and you don't need a standup. And you also get help as soon as people's time is available, not the next day.

But then you'd need people to listen to some slack channel, and be distracted continuously throughout the day. That's worse.

I've found that asking for help over text or the phone is less effective than asking in person.

No, those are things you want to take "offline" or "to the parking lot".
