Googling a little, I might be misremembering limitations from a long time ago or from older IRC versions or something. Does it have async multi user rooms, reactions, and is it federated so I can stick to one log in?

Why xmpp over matrix? Seems generally like older tech that doesn’t have modern chat features.
