Probably not the best timing, but should we consider (again) running a more advanced free software chat system? E.g. Outreachy uses Zulip, Mozilla - Matrix, there are probably more. [...]
Feel free to try running anything you like, but discussions will generally take place wherever they take place. Adding a new communication platform doesn't mean everyone will switch to it. After all, there are already OpenStack discussion spaces on Discord, Slack, Reddit... but IRC as a protocol has survived and outlived its earlier "killed replacements" by decades, so I expect it will persist regardless of what else comes along. -- Jeremy Stanley
