It sounds like you do a great job communicating regularly in your typical in-person environment.
I previously worked at an "old-school" company where everyone on the team would work remote 2-3 times a week. We'd also collaborate closely.
One thing that we naturally did was pair off on projects, so on a given week (or month), two people on the team were working on closely related things. On days when we'd work remote, it was easy to switch to talking to your partner on video chat / slack /email. I found that coordinating with just one other person for most of the meetings is easier and more dynamic than trying to bring in everyone.
