This will be an unpopular opinion here, but Discord is worth paying for and I do. Obviously, everyone's usage will differ, but I use it for video and voice chat for several hours a week and I can count on one hand the number of hours that have been disrupted by discord service outage. That kind of value is worth paying for imho.
I am pretty sure that you can get a dozen of commercial XMPP providers who will offer the same quality of service, but won't cancel your account if you dare to use a "non-official" client
The problem with Discord is not that it's paid, the problem that is closed and creates a walled garden.
But XMPP doesnt have any gaming focused features, no screensharing iirc, no group calls.
Xmpp is by design, an extensible protocol. There just doesn't seem to be any motivation to develop for it.
