The YI of Midwood sent out an email saying that no piyyutim will be 
said during the davening on the Yomim Noraim. After all in many shuls 
the davening on Shabbos has been curtailed due to concerns about the 
virus. (no speeches and no singing).  In some shuls people have been 
told to daven up to Baruch She'omer before coming to shul.

So you won't be missing anything if other  shuls follow the YI of Midwood!

Personally I hope they do.  Long davening can lead to the spread of 
the virus even with proper social distancing.

Rav Yitzchok Hutner often said the it is better to daven a little 
with Kavanah,  than a lot without.  The result is that selichos in 
Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin take no more that 15 minutes , IIRC.
