We use Slack heavily in our organization and editing happens all the time - whether it's to fix a typo, or insert a missing word, or cross out something we wrote earlier and put in the corrected version. Once you can do it you'll learn the value of it.

I still use the common irc convention of rewriting the incorrect bit with an asterisk at the end on slack. Old habits die hard.

Same here except for cosmetic changes. It's the only way to be certain that people have read your corrected version, and not just the pre-corrected original.
I used to work at Bloomberg, where the terminal's MSG function supports editing and outright retraction of any message that hasn't yet been read (and thus, it also supports universal unfakeable read/unread status indicators on sent mail).
Once you try it, you never want to go back.
