I used to work at Apple and for a very long time we used email for most things, and iMessage for anything urgent.
IMO it worked great, and I prefer that to slack.
Email is much more linear and more permanent so it’s much harder to lose things. It’s also much easier to search for things in email IMO. The extra friction invoked with e-mail can also be good for cutting down on unnecessary communication.
