Be honest: are off-hours meetings (specifically meetings before 8 AM or after 5 PM) ever acceptable?

They are, all depending of the context (emergency etc). However for me it has to be the exception, and not the standard.

If acceptable or not, they are scheduled. I make decisions about attendance based on certain factors. Emergencies happen. I just deal with it.

Yes. But attendees are often consulted, and group agrees.
1) project work that involves folks in different time zones may be approved
2) Physician meetings
3) 7/7:30am is more common than after 5pm
Yes, they are on some occasions, especially when we have to work with people from different time zones across the globe.
