I found more not-talk time meant even _more_ socialising time than
usual, which as you observe can be a bit of a drain for the introverted.

As someone said to me earlier in the week. 'I've used up my whole
socialising allowance for the year already. There's a reason why I
work from home' :-)

So debconf remians pretty intense, but I agree the somewhat-changed
format has worked well.
