I think this approach has many benefits. The main problem with most collaborations in which documents are used to replace conversation is that without a disciplined framework for structuring documents it's very easy to get lost in them.

-documents go out of date, people are usually up to the minute

-documents don't allow you to ask questions people do

-documents never forget, people do (not forgetting seems like a good thing but try working through a 5-10 year old team wiki or OneNote and you'll see why it can be good)
