This (approximately) minimises the chance that people remember the
meeting day/time.

This is what normally worked best. Even when we started with another
plan, we normally fell into this one, with a 'least bad' day/time
based on the team's timezones and other commitments. (That time isn't
necessarily the one you discover by doing direct polling.)

The busiest people are usually the least likely to fill out the polls
on time. It's also common if there's a poll that the meeting date is
announced too late. And people acquire new commitments after they
initially filled out the poll anyway.

Not that is better than those already mentioned.
