Do they have a replacement for whiteboards and sticky notes? Those are one of the biggest things that I haven't seen a solution for yet.

You can whiteboard in zoom.

You can sketch on a touch-enabled device which is not quite the same thing as people working things out on big conference room whiteboards.
That said, people could probably use tablets more systematically for sharing hand-drawn/written stuff in real time. Some of it is about adjusting to the realistically available tools as well. For large meetings where some people have to be remote, for example, we've switched things that we would have historically probably written on a whiteboard to shared docs online.
Can you please provide examples? Between Zoom, BlueJeans, and other conferencing software, I've yet to run into any collaboration issues that would have been solved by office visits. There's also the fact that most conferences now use screen-sharing as the default means of presenting, with many attendees calling in from their office desks.
The biggest problems I've encountered are usually centered around lazy or ignorant usage of the tools. For example people dialing in from some noisy environment with the mic on by default. This is becoming less of a problem though as it's no longer taboo to call them out for their negligence.
