I think a good number is to have everyone together for three days at the beginning or end of each month, but ymmv.

Any number of days together over zero severely restricts the geographical region you can hire from. Surely, that limited hiring pool is going to affect your company more than 1-3 days together in the office will.

That's fine.

Meeting in person with the people you work with on a regular basis adds a lot. The idea that you can have people individually scattered all over is already being proven to have rough edges. Even pre-pandemic remote-first companies often had full week quarterly meetings, or even more often.

I think all teams are different, all workloads are different. This is a major seismic shift. The only sure thing is that offices are dead.
