At my office, people are free to remain 100% remote if they choose to, so some rarely set foot in the office. Those that do choose to meet on the same day, usually meet within the boundaries of their small team - so no more than 16 concurrent desks at one time.
Hybrid work has many possible variants with different trade-offs, that can be tailored the needs and wants of each specific team. It's a branching tree of options that can be sliced every which way, not just a binary choice. Unless it's thought of as a binary choice by the management.

That sounds pretty much perfect to me!

The only way that doesn't work is having management plus some staff in the office while others are hybrid. It's a disaster for everyone involved in my experience!
Agreed, however the problem with this is it only works if I'm in the office the same days as everyone else, meaning we need enough desks for everyone _anyway_ otherwise I might as well just be at home.
