My exact thoughts, I've been working with agile teams (and kind of a mix of methodologies) and have made most of the mistakes mentioned in the article, but I've actually managed to solve them all through some very simple "hey, check your tasks before the meeting", or an even simpler "aaalright, you guys go talk about that later on, let's keep the meeting going".
I've checked Basecamp's approach on asynchronous daily updates, which works very similarly to a Slack bot, but it brings up other issues, specially cultural ones. To mention one of them, written daily updates tend to be even more concise than in a daily meeting, which may lead to someone not mentioning something important, which leads to people asking for more details, which on it's own raises the old email-thread issue, where a single topic takes hours/days to be settled, when a 2min talk could've solved it.
And please, agile mindset is all about being practical and solve issues that matter while taking people in consideration more than processes and tools. If a daily meeting is not working, change it, try new dynamics with the team, schedule a daily meeting in the coffee table.. Anyway, there are simpler ways to solve problems such as these.
