...and outdated, as it's 2018 now and XEP-0387 exists.

Actually, most of this FAQ is severely outdated, XMPP already catched-up in most of these points. Some clients are lagging, sure, but that's just a matter of time for Matrix to suffer from the same issue.

Is there an up to date wiki/guide of a subset of features and implementations that go well together for modern xmpp?

As in these mobile clients for ios and Android, these for desktop and these for cli. With these servers - Together give you in-band registration, ssl-only client/server and server/server, maybe audio/video, file-sharing, server-side history - e2e encryption (I'd settle for otr) - and sane defaults for each client and server to make it difficult to accidentally disable encryption or certificate validation?

Honest question - last time I looked I couldn't find a simple&secure, recommend setup for xmpp.

A thing I often see is people pointing to specifications and saying "look it's all fixed".

But you can't chat using a piece of digital paper. What matters not is what the protocol can theoretically do, but the experience you can have if you open a client right now.

That point that needed "fixing" was specifically about lack of specification... plus there are multiple clients and servers already implementing this spec.
