I feel like XMPP is under rated, I used it in the past back when matrix was super new and not really production ready. I'm now revisiting them and matrix seems highly centralized in practice even if it was designed to be federated. There aren't that many implementations and so many people use matrix.org as their homeserver. Definitely still thinking XMPP is the best option.
