The problem is that you can only meaningfully pair program with programmers. The people involved in architexture/design meetings might not be programmers. The questions that arise when 2 programmers work might not be resolvable without involving the others.
This falls for the famous "hours of planning can save minutes of coding". Architecture can't (all) be planned out on a whiteboard, it's the response to the difficulty you only realize as you try to implement.
If you can agree what to build and how to build it and then it turns out that actually is a working plan - then you are better than me. That hasn't happened in 20 years of software development. Most of what's planned falls down within the first few hours of implementation.
Iterative architecture meetings will be necessary. But that falls into the pit of weekly meeting.
