This should be an interesting experiment. Lord of the flies comes to mind.
I worked in a place that tried the team management thing once. It was a disaster.
reminds me of all the hippie communes from the 60’s and 70’s. Sounds good in theory.
Somewhere along the line, they will go “Lord of the Flies”
I have seen it hapeen in other “Bossless” workplaces

Ask the White House staff.
I read about a tenth of this lengthy article and asked my nine team mates to read the rest, we’ll get together after it is read and let you know what we think of it.
I remember right before the dot.com bust how tech businesses staffed mainly by young people were explaining how the new internet way of doing business didn’t require their companies to make a profit.

Ayn Rand wrote about a factory run like this office. It was the one that John Galt quit.
one person to deal with regarding raises and reviews, or the entire office of nutjobs weighing in on your raise and review. people thqt may only see you from a very limited interaction view.
don’t see much good from it. they have these “does someone need to go?” shows where the whole office gets involved in this and it’s a nightmare.
So, Survivor hits the workplace.
