Krauß (2024, CC BY 4.0 chapter, interview and workshop study of German quality TV drama) reports that continuous full-time rooms are a great exception in Germany; practitioners call looser arrangements 'writers' rooms lite' (small teams of two or three, short periods, individual episode scripts alongside), daily soaps use story editors to develop storylines whose treatments feed dialogue writers, and juniors are included partly because cheaper. He also reports that practitioners rarely framed rooms as hierarchical, unlike some US scholars, and warns against idealising US conditions. These are scholar's findings from German interviews, not general facts.
