I fully agree with all your points. I would add that the time zone difference accentuates the pain of following email threads that spawn over days and many a time clarifying things in an interactive way proved to be more effective.

I do not, personally, feel that there's been any sort of serious problem
with doing stuff on IRC that can't be participated in, or read, by other
community members. The logs are always posted and anything serious that
happens always gets a proposal sent via email after discussion on the
chat (IIRC). I find realtime interaction, via phone IRC or in person,
to be incredibly valuable especially for those times where one has a
very busy schedule and can't always regularly follow a long
back-and-forth on email. I believe such interactions are an adjunct to,
and not a replacement for, archived community email exchanges. My
$0.02.
That said, I've retired the chatbot for the nonce.
