Where's the "don't allocate 8 gigabytes and crash the system" feature? (Yeah Slack, I'm looking at you.)

Indeed, and for "compatibility" it doesn't really say anything about the quality of the software for that system. Signal, for example, doesn't have a native iOS app and it shows.

Does anyone know what supports E2E encrypted video? (Great doc btw)

Wire https://wire.com/

Wire comes with a short-fall by virtue of the fact they store a lot of metadata about you.[1]

Obviously your threat model informs this.

Are there any good XMPP clients that provide a "modern" messenger experience? For example seamlessly switching between online/offline mode, built in audio and video calls, sharing photos/videos.

These ones perhaps? https://conversations.im/ https://conversejs.org/ https://dino.im/
