I feel like you guys are making this way too hard. If the Captain says let’s meet at the jet, great meet at the jet. If he doesn’t say anything, you are obligated to meet at the FPA. There are no red flags here. If you text the captain, hey my commute is gonna be a little tight do you mind if we meet at the jet? 99% of captains will say that’s fine, if he insists on the FPA, that is probably a red flag. If you show up to the jet without it being coordinated, you rightfully should get a lecture and you put the captain in an awkward position. The captain gets to set the tone, if you feel differently, you should upgrade.
The hissy fits by some here would be hilarious if it didn’t speak to your professionalism arguing over which rules to follow and which to not.

Son, we live in a world that has flights, and those flights have to be briefed by men with iPads. Where ya gonna do it? "The Jet"? Ops, Lt. Marvin? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Unimatic, and you curse FOs that text. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That not briefing in Ops, while tragic, probably saves time. And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves time. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about on APC, you want me in that jet, you need me in that jet. We use words like ZFW, MTOG, CF, UNSBL, REMF, ACF90, ETOPS, CI, RDSP, WSI, JeppFD, WX, GPS, SLOP, HF, CP1, CP2, CP3. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent briefing something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very flight that I brief, then questions the manner in which I brief it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you sign on to CCS, and bid an upgrade. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.
