But there’s a much less costly strategy which gains a decent chunk of the same benefits: coordinate vacation. If everyone goes on vacation 3 weeks per year on the same 3 weeks, then that’s only 3 weeks of nonproductivity for the team; the other 49 weeks are full steam.
Isn’t that what happens, de facto, in places like France, where the month of August is socially designated holiday month, and more or less every office worker takes their vacation at that time?

Finland too (and I expect quite a few other EU countries to do so as well)
Yup! Also I hear China does a pretty good job of having lots of coordinated holidays.
