Andrew Kelley had referenced this in a recent talk at SSW 2026, and I was intrigued from the start. Glad to see that development is moving right along.
In regards to the question: I think people want something that is pretty close to what they know, and IRC or XMPP don't really fit that bill.
Matrix is a bit more normie-friendly, but that also comes with downsides (mainly more pressure from governments to comply with chat control guidelines).
If you want voice chat within a more private community, use Mumble or XMPP's call feature.
