SFI has great ways to communicate with your team, but am I missing out by not using outside resources too like email, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, etc.?
Communication is not a one method approach - as you have noted in your question. As stated in your question, there are many ways and so may cause affilaites to feel like there needs to be more than what is being used.
I would say that it is entirely up to you to use which method is a fit for your business model with SFI. If you are an avid blogger then you may wish to use a blog to communicate with your team regularly. If you are quick to respond to e-mails, Team Mail messages - then this will be the way you want to go.
It is important to consider what is a fit to what you are comfortable with and which mode (may be more than 1) that you have a routine in place that enables you to be an effective communicator with your team.
The answer is simply going to be based on what you are comfortable with and what you feel you are a master at doing. Do not try to use a method that is cumbersome and uncomfortable for you as this will be then harder for you to keep up then will not be effective for you to communicate with others.
Effective communication is what you are striving for so be sure to reflect on what you are comfortable with and what you know you can keep up as a regular routine to communicate with your team members.
The less stressed you are the better you will be with timely and effective communication tactics for you and your team.
