The last office I worked in before Covid was an open floor plan, but
people sent slack messages to each other!

I think if you want a hybrid office plan, you want to minimize the
office chatter and funnel it into collab/public areas where you could
join remote employees into a call. The open office plan meant to foster
open communication does so at a disadvantage of not including your
100% remote employees as well as the employees that work a hybrid
schedule.
