Video chat is good enough for me. I don't need to know about their posture or how long their legs are.

This might just be me, but video chat doesn't really do it. You don't get an idea of the building, bathrooms, cafeteria, and the general idea of how often your coworkers bathe.

All of these can be pretty important to my general mental health.

Yes, and they could easily hide a noisy, chaotic work environment in a video chat as well.
