I don't see the burnout problem like others do. Meet less often over a longer period and you solve that. You could also shorten meetings or cut out some week days and use weekends or vise versa.

If you were a team that could sustain that whole period at full chatter then you save the practice bot while simultaneously getting more time overall.

Everyone will be able to save on shipping costs and better utilize machining sponsors because your lead times won't be as short. Snow days and government shutdowns become less of a problem too.

I also think that design convergence might not be too bad since, depending on how drastic a change, it could be unreasonably expensive for most even given the time.
