I find it to be like long-distance driving on major freeways/motorways.

The conflict is between on the one hand the need to stay alert, focused and in-the-moment, and a physical environment that lacks stimulating cues. Your body wants to zone out, but you can't, as you'll get no advance warning of cues to re-engage, so it's like fighting sleepiness constantly.

In-person meetings are so much less fatiguing, because you can spend about 60% of the time basically daydreaming and still contribute effectively - perhaps, more so - whenever needed.
