Whenever I work for large corporations or government I wanna blow my brain how slow things move. Literally days work in a month.

Yes, small teams can be more productive.

I've took a ~2x pay cut just not to sit in those unproductive meetings and grind instead.

Just wait until 1 of those 3 employees left has surgery and needs FMLA, or out on maternity leave. Then it'll be even more capable. /s
