We cancelled standups and let the team build

Standups aren't the place to hash this out, sprint/epic planning is.

Standups are for managers and 99% of the time can be done asynchronously. If you have to know what everyone else is doing in order to be effective at your job, your planning process needs fixing.

How would the standups be for managers? They don't attend. Even the scrum master is not required to attend, only required to ensure the meeting happens (which for most teams often means the scrum master has to attend, but still.)

I've never had a standup my manager wasn't at. I know they're not supposed to but like, theory vs. practice etc.

Standups are also for people who like the illusion of control that comes with knowing what everyone is working on and having a say in every single decision/work.
