And both suck for discord-like large communities (esspeically xmpp). We have thousands of open source p2p encrypted secure messaging software, yet almost nothing that even gets close to IRC for federated communities. In all fairness I also haven't sat down and tried coding a software like that but I'd 100% throw some cash at anyone who can
Idk what was meant by this one, but they keep pushing updates that break preexisting setups. This would be fine if admins were sufficiently warned and they added proper info about breaking changes to their changelogs, but they simply havent done that.
Isn't it just a matter of upgrading infrastructure to the latest version as should already be done anyway for security concerns? Do the updates break configs or something else?
No, the issue is also with the protocol, but if you use a big commercial homeserver like Beeper or Matrix.org you don't notice it so much. But try self-hosting Matrix and you will quickly notice how bad the protocol is.

Did teamspeak have any success? It seemed selfhostable and had some channels last time I fiddled with it.
Finally! You found something where XMPP can't compete with Matrix.
